"...an addictive tale of mystery, magic, and espionage..."

"...the first gothic masterpiece of the new millennium!"

'Gilgamesh' is the new sci-fi masterpiece from Shotaro Ishinomori ('Cyborg 009') and man, this is one mother of a post-apocalyptic world! It's a landscape where good-looking assassins change before your very eyes into evil winged creatures, where the children are born with amazing powers, and where a brother and sister are hunted by organizations with hidden agendas ... and all this under a sky now resembling a psychedelic cinematic spray! But, 'Gilgamesh' is an addictive tale of mystery, magic, and espionage ... and quite easily the first gothic masterpiece of the new millennium! In this second episode, and after a series of seduction hasn't worked, the black-clad clan of Gilgamesh uses force, kidnapping Kiyoko and trying to coerce her to join their cause. The dark Countess and her band of young mutants, however, continue with their own attempt to sway Kiyoko and her brother Tatsuya to side with them?and as Tatsuya?s psychic powers increase under their guidance, their plan seems to be working. But the real battles are just beginning!
