This isn’t where I normally do these reviews, but as I’m collating all the stuff for those who purchased the Archivist perk in the IndieGoGo campaign, I ran across this piece of art I commissioned over FOUR YEARS AGO.

I was always a HUGE fan of Gunnm and read the manga when it came out decades ago. I went to see the movie with some fairly high expectations and, at the same time, I was ready to be heavily disappointed. It turns out I love this movie as much as I loved Wonder Woman (a LOT!). I think they did a phenomenal job showing their love for the source material (always a critical point for me when they’re doing an adaptation of existing books/comics) and showed Alita to be a fierce warrior as much as a caring person. In some ways, I think I love the movie even more than I loved the manga—and that’s saying something. I’ve already seen the movie twice in theaters and encourage you all to do the same.
