Within this megastructure the silent, stoic Kyrii is on a mission to find the Net Terminal Gene-a genetic mutation that once allowed humans to access the cybernetic NetSphere. Armed with a powerful Graviton Beam Emitter, Kyrii fends off waves of attacks from fellow humans, cyborgs and silicon-based lifeforms. Along the way, he encounters a highly-skilled scientist whose body has deteriorated from a lengthy imprisonment who promises to help Kyrii find the Net Terminal Gene, once she settles a score for herself...\u003cbr\u003eTsutomu         Nihei is an internationally known Japanese comic artist and       draftsman.   Born in 1971, Nihei made his debut in the comics world as       the winner  of  the 1995 \u003ci\u003eAfternoon Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e Four Seasons  Award      for short  stories.  He then briefly worked as an assistant  to   veteran    comicker  Tsutomu  Takahashi before making his  break-through   hit \u003ci\u003eBLAME!\u003c\/i\u003e (published by Tokyopop). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eBLAME!\u003c\/i\u003e franchise was so well received worldwide, that it inspired an animated         mini-series and eventually drew the attention of Marvel Comics in     the     US. Nihei would later go on to draw Wolverine (X-Men) and  HALO     comics    for Marvel to great fanfare. An architectural  student,   Nihei's   early    work were mainly wordless, relying on  visuals and   backgrounds   to tell    their stories. Now, his works are  deeply rooted   in hard    science-fiction,   as was seen in the  multiple NY Times   Bestselling    books \u003ci\u003eHALO- The Graphic Novel \u003c\/i\u003e(published by Marvel Comics) and \u003ci\u003eBIOmega\u003c\/i\u003e (published by Viz Media).\r\n                                        ","brand":"Kodansha USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42349187072191,"sku":"9781942993773","price":75.14,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/wjvirpwGv5onD0Ywr8AP3m3vncSr11GVqAzbT8-nfwsAJw_60_60.jpg?v=1683778035","url":"https:\/\/www.popweasel.co.nz\/products\/blame-master-edition-vol-1","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
