Humans are now living
on huge space colonies out in space orbiting the earth. To help keep
the peace, the Allied Earth Forces are established and stationed on
the colonies. But through the use of new weapons called Mobile Suits,
the Allied Earth Forces oppressed the people of the colonies. The
date is After Colony 195, in an effort to bring peace back to the
colonies, rebels send five pilots in Mobile Suits called Gundams to
Earth. Their mission: to bring down the OZ secret organization. But
the battle is far from simple....
I'm a huge fan of Gundam Wing, but I'm not sure weather the manga
came before the series or vise versa, but anyway seeing as I know
the series better, I'm going to base my information on that. This
manga follows the story of series quite closely, but with just some
small changes. The story is very gripping, with quite a bit happening
and a complex storyline as well.
The manga is drawn beautifully as well, with the action scenes done
wonderfully and not letting up on violence. All the characters are
depicted well, with Heero shown as the silent killer with a soft spot,
Duo being the loud mouth he always is and Quatre being shown as the
kind pacifist of the group.
Overall, it displays the story of Gundam Wing very well with some
of the best comic work I've seen in ages. This is the first a series
of these books, so expect more reviews of the other books as I get
them. This is really worth getting if you are a Gundam Wing fan.
9/10 - An enjoyable read. One for the Gundam Wing fans.
