Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

A stellar creative team seamlessly produces a work that's both breakneck and beautiful. In the Tokyo Ghost future, humans are mired in technological addiction, too busy consuming vapid entertainment directly through their optic nerves to notice when a homicidal millennial nostalgia buff named Davey Trauma goes on another murder spree. Enter Constable Led Dent—himself a hard-core addict—and his (life) partner, Debbie Decay, the only tech-free woman in all the Isles of Los Angeles. Remender (Low) and artist Murphy (Chrononauts) take Dent and Decay through a horror ride of dystopian nightmares as Trauma takes his brain-hijacking abilities to Tokyo—a bastion of nature protected by an EMP field—to plunder its resources for the myopic Flak Corporation. Murphy's sketchy yet detailed art and Hollingsworth's furious colors evoke a loopy, frenetic future, and Remender repeatedly doubles down on a chilling story that gets to the heart of addiction and codependency. (Mar.) \n

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fantastic! Bald Runner, Mad Max, The Beach all in one!

Absolutely fantastic! This is the dystopian world I’ve been hungering for. Part Blade Runner, Mad Max, The Beach, mixed with ancient Japan. And a perfect story arc only 12 issues. (If you like this, try Matt Fraction’s comic Casanova. Similar wacky, sexy, cyberpunk vibe)

Rick Remender is a fantastic writer. This book does not deviate from his quality in any way. His characters are striking, individualized, complex, and compelling. If you're a fan of any of his previous work, get this. Don't read any more, just get this.

The setting is a holy trinity of equal parts Mad Max, Blade Runner, and Akira. So if Peak-Orwellian-Consumerist Cyperpunk Hell-Cities are your cup of tea, this book has it by the gallons.

Remender does an excellent job of giving you glimpses of humanity in his main cast and breaking your heart when he rips that humanity away. In most of his stories, when you see his anti-heroes doing something nefarious you hurt for them because you know the repercussions exist within his worlds and can see the character's future taking a turn for the worse due to their actions.

Great book, pick it up!

The book manages to capture the modern zeitgeist. A black mirror reflecting our addiction to social media, our disregard for the planet and the ability of society and the news to prop up one individual as an autocrat.... The art is amazing and the colors are spectacular.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid New Cyberpunk
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2016
Verified Purchase
This is a very adult comic for a mainstream publisher like Image. Not a complaint, but buyers be advised.
A new take on the cyberpunk genre, an interesting setting with new, modern updates (Metube, unread Twamps, ha!) and an extreme progression of a media-and-social-media driven society. The art reminds me of Martin Emond's from the '90s, especially Lobocop and Judge Dredd. I'm not familiar with the art team, but I'm going to be.
Fortunately this is the first collection from an ongoing title (something I didn't know when I bought it) but the book doesn't clue you in to that especially well. My review of the story wouldn't have been as good if it was over where the book ends. Looking forward to volume 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cyberdrug addiction!
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2016

It took a few pages to get into it, but then I was jacked in (see what I did there ). Its a great cyber punk story about two "constables" aka bounty_hunters/hitmen. One is a drug stricken beefhead the other is trying to help him get clean in anyway she can to get the "real him" back to her.
Its a really good story about battling addiction in a drug infectious world and its pretty damn good. The art is stunning reminds me of the Japanese manga/movie Akira.

5.0 out of 5 stars STORY AND ART EQUALLY AMAZING
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2019
Verified Purchase
This is one of the finest dystopian tales I have encountered in years. Keep your eyes peeled on the background or you'll miss amazing and/or hilarious things hidden in plain sight. Social commentary is hidden between the lines as well as shoved in your face. The progression is steady and engaging. Everything about this story has enamored me right from the get go, which is rare. I'm currently waiting on the next trade paperback (vol. 3) to be released. If you are looking at these reviews and even CONTEMPLATING buying this vol. 1 collection just do it, it's worth the risk and a few bucks for a story this good! 10/10

Absolutely love this series. It's a two part trade (1&2) that is completely worth your money. Its is a SyFy, diesel fueled, feudal Japan visual pleasure ride. I highly recommend it. Corrupt corporations, brain dead internet addicts, Bushido samurai, AND there's a love story that manages to pull on your heart strings a bit while the true plot carries you away on a joy ride.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this book <3 <3 <3

3.0 out of 5 stars Great visuals, disjointed writing
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2016

On first glance of what is Tokyo Ghost, one can be taken back by the detailed illustration through out which is superb to no end. But in the same view, that is what to me smothers the flow of the story as the visual is so cluttered that it's hard to tell what dialogue goes with what in view of chronological sequence. I would much prefer this masterful visualuzation as an animation if it isn't already. The drawing and color is excellent the flow of writing is a tad too choppy and disorganized.

Reviewed in Canada on April 4, 2024

I had my heart set on the hardcover Deluxe Edition, but unfortunately, I couldn't find any copies sold directly by Amazon. I "settled" for the two-volume regular edition. Overall, good story and amazing art (can't go wrong with Sean Gordon Murphy). If you're a manga/anime fan, then this is right along those lines.

Autor Rick Remender in Hochform. Bei diesem Autor greife ich immer bedenkenlos zu
und auch dieses mal wurde ich nicht enttäuscht, im Gegenteil.
Die Zeichnungen von Sean Murphy sind auch eine absolute Pracht.
Ich schwärme generell für Settings in Japan, aber diese Story hat mich besonders gepackt.
Die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der Digitalisierung und die interessant geschriebenen
Charactere bleiben im Gedächtnis. In meiner Comic-Sammlung defenitiv ein Highlight.
