I'd argue the best panels in volume six are the ones where she's doing the  face as she murders dudes. She just loves her work.

Bilirubin posted:When he finally takes off the glasses It's so good. The VOLT splash page is my favorite in the whole series, and pretty much anything between that scene's framing is amazing. It's pretty reasonable to find the thing unsettling. At that point, keep in mind she's spent years as the GIB's slave. The whole experience hosed her up a little, in addition to something that comes up toward the end of volume 9. I'm not totally sure if you've finished yet, so I'm being intentionally vague.

Okay, now that Bilirubin's finished: Alita was from Somewhere Else right from the jump, but I always got the impression Yoko in specific was kind of a late addition to the story. She's the source of that increasing glee in doing a murder, as Alita tries to square her current situation and personality with, y'know, her inherited karma. Last Order has some real editing issues, but the parts where it's going into Alita's psychological issues with her past are really well done. The whole thing doesn't hang together well as a story, but it's definitely worth a read just for the highlight moments.

Don't forget just outright republishing the lyrics to Big Generator and Inside Looking Out.

I think it was when Alita and Erica were fighting on the train and the fallout thereof, so several years of real time. I'ma be real with y'all, Mars Chronicle ain't doing much for me. We're not getting the weirdness that Last Order would just spontaneously dump on the reader, and I don't care about any of our protagonists enough to make up for it.

Very true, although I guess that's not a problem by default at the moment anyway.

We could talk about Aqua Knight.

While Mars Chronicle still ain't doing much for me, I do appreciate Kishiro taking a few pages in the middle of his high-concept science fiction punchmans serial to stop and talk about balls.
