Book Review
“Horton and Ahn deliver great action, crazy technology, and hot girls, but that doesn’t cause it to read like some manga fan-fiction. The plot thickens almost as quickly as the action moves, and leaves you with a cliffhanger I dare you to say no to.” –Tim Demeter, editor, Graphic Smash (www.graphicsmash.com) on Strongarm
