Attack on Titan: Colossal Edition 1

Product Information

Don't fall asleep while you're reading this in bed, you'll break your nose! But at least you'll be entertained while your nose is healing... The Gantz fighters wage invisible war against a series of increasingly bizarre and deadly alien monstrosities, whose source and purpose are a frightening mystery.

Reiener, Ymir, Christa, and others are trapped in this tower at night. Now, Titans are not supposed to be able to move at night. They camped there because they were supposed to be safe. This is not the case. The battle sequence that followed ranks right up there with some of the best fantasy battles out there. It’s intense, it’s dangerous, and you don’t know who is going to make it out in one piece. It gives you the fear and worries that you want to come along with a battle. You don’t know who is going to make it out. You don’t know if any of them are going to make it out. You don’t know what is going on. After all, what is happening does not fit in with what we and the characters know about the world. From Vol 3 things definitely start tilting sideways. Eren is a titan..or can transform into one. Ok. So can others apparently too. This society is incredibly corrupt from top to bottom and it is astonishing the titans have not finished them off. There are...titans in the walls??

Noragami: Stray God Vol. 3 Review

Armin Arlelt also uses this ability to wipe out most of, if not all of the Marleyan naval fleet present at the Raid on Liberio in a devastating explosion, sending a tremendous wave of energy inland and destroying the port entirely. [6] Immense Size [ ] After Eren wakes up from his nightmare, we are introduced to Armin and Mikasa. Armin is Eren’s best friend and he fills Eren’s head with dreams of seeing the outside world beyond the walls, telling him stories of oceans, deserts, mountains, volcanoes and all sorts of things they could never imagine witnessing with their own eyes if they continue to spend the rest of their lives hiding in mundane safety behind the walls. Armin is frail and timid, but he’s incredibly smart and proves his worth as a brilliant tactician. He’s also very loyal and protects his friends when the going gets tough. No one is really safe. Yes, there's a set amount of characters who are there that probably won't die right away. BUT the risk of death, watching others getting killed, it's terrifying. Not to mention the action is both vicieral and brutal. Having Eren go head to head with these titans is amazing. But watching a titan vs a titan? Oh so good.

It’s ironic that, a year ago, I couldn’t care less about the series. Now I can't wait to dive into the pools of blood it. Explore the macabre mind of Japan’s master of horror, Junji Ito, in this chilling adult coloring book. A new manga from the creator of the acclaimed A Silent Voice, featuring intimate, emotional drama and an epic story spanning time and space... We also have the female Titan on a ramage. Our characters are trying to figure out what that is all about. While they were doing that, you could see them start to wonder if there were more people out there like Eren. Do more people have the ability to turn into Titans? Again, this sense of the unknown comes across so well. Then, we also have the big reveal about the wall. This makes our characters start to wonder what else their government and military leaders are keeping from them. After all, they are the ones putting their lives on the line. This bit of information is enough to sway the course of events. It makes them also reexamine everything that they thought they knew about the world. However, this didn’t last for too long because we are once again thrown into the face of action. Again, I am sure this will come up again. It’s too big of a reveal for it not to come up.

Conclusion

This is what I like when the stakes are high. I want to feel that fear. I want to believe that everyone and everything is not going to be okay. The fact that the author did this and did so feel makes me enjoy this series so much more. I don’t like it whenever we have high stakes and, yet, our characters lose nothing. I want to see them suffer and feel pain. I want them to stop and think that there is a chance that they could die. These are things that readers need to feel. Started this series because my wife has watched the show about three times now and the zeitgeist is at a fever pitch. The world is very dark. I like how the dark undertone of the art shows us just how dark and dangerous this world is. While reading, I kept thinking about how the grey and scribbles showed us how much we don’t know. When the characters are out hunting Titans and not knowing where they are, the artwork allows you to see that. The blurred edges and lines give the same view that the characters are seeing. You are there with them. The darkness and the unknown give you this experience of being in the world with the characters. Plus, the characters’ facial expressions and actions add more. While I am still new to manga, I have not seen too many graphic novels in general display this kind of emotion on the characters. The author truly is showing you their fear and unity without words. Now, we do see this through the spoken parts as well. However, it is through the characters’ actions that we see most of it. For those drawn in by the hypnotic spirals of Uzumaki, this is your moment. Start coloring every single one of the spirals yourself!

After destroying the harbor, the Colossal Titan steps on all the ships to ensure that they have been completely destroyed. Armin then emerges from the Titan's nape and looks down at the carnage caused by the transformation, and flies up using his anti-personnel omni-directional mobility gear to a nearby Scout Regiment airship. [6] I will say the one weaker point is Sasha's story. Not horrible but just okay. It feels slow but with purpose as to build her character. Same with Connie's storyline but there's SO much underlying moments with Connie's story that it all makes sense. I do give Isayama huge credit for the mild way with which the Armored and Colossal Titans (re)introduced themselves here. Maybe I was expecting some over-the-top Naruto shit, but I'm glad Isayama handled it with some "maturity." Really digging the sincerity with which Isayama's been writing his story, avoiding blatant cliches... even if I'm mostly excited for the flesh-mecha battles between Titan-shifters.This first bundle of volumes sets things up a little more like a standard story. Eren is our protag, Mikasa is a loyal friend/love interest, and a coterie of friends and rivals exist to push Eren and "make him be stronger" or whatever. Our threats are identified and seem fairly clear, all that's left is to see what Eren's personal growth looks like and who will get off'd in our hero's long march. This series owns my soul and lives in my mind rent free and I would give my heart for these characters.
