Ghost in the Shell Volume 1 2nd edition TPB by Shirow Masamune

3.0

Mixed bag. It is quite compelling in a few places, with a lot of head-scratchers, and some interesting political/philosophical commentary, but I think it's inundated with too many half/fully-naked ladies (you wanted some booty and nipple shots? Look no further), some crass humor, and convoluted plot points. Having watched the animated film first, it was extremely surprising to see such a different characterization of Major Kusanagi; she becomes more akin to her animated counterpart in the very last issue with the Puppeteer.
