The misadventures of a sex-addicted cyborg humorously subvert classic science fiction and super-spy tropes. PUBLICATION IN 2 VOLUMES - COMPLETED WORK.

As Anibal and the rest of EDO's eclectic team battle evil dictators, nymphet clones, and a mysterious criminal syndicate, things turn inevitably, and irrevocably, delirious and erotic.

Reviews

[StrictlySequential ArtNarrative]

Read entirely within-> Heavy Metal "Havoc" Special (#13-1995)
(English translation is reproduced much too darkly)

The first one was breast & sex heavy but this second emission tops it!
->They use the term "SuperEros" very appropriately with loads of human, cyborg and even jungle animal action with the bosoms loping sometimes at dozens per page.

->It's heavy on the words and a refreshing 62* story pages long.


*Bizarre Book Anatomy
->When I looked at the last page I noticed that the number of story pages (62) was SIX pages less than the printer page number (68)! I knew that there weren't that many pages before the story so I went to the front to see what would actually be page 1 and it turned out to be the cover! Yup. The inner cover being page 2 and so on. Weird.

[Stephen Theaker]

A sci-fi sex comedy that is neither sexy nor funny. A chore to finish.

[Rob Smith, Jr.]

I refer to my review of part one of this two part story. Most still holds true in this entry, but with a better resolution to certain issues and less juvenile tale. The artwork is also still very good, but not quite as tight as the first volume.

Still not worth the time.

Bottom line: i don't recommend this book. 2 out of ten points.
