The Ghost in the Shell: The Human Algorithm #1
"Section 9" kicks off a gripping new chapter in the Ghost in the Shell universe, with Yuki Yoshimoto’s striking art and a story co-written by Junichi Fujisaku and Stephen Kohler. When Togusa thwarts an assassination targeting a pro-prosthetic rights politician, Section 9 is quickly drawn into a chilling mystery after reports surface of illegal dumping—among the discarded android shells, one is unmistakably the Major. The cover, also by Yoshimoto, captures the issue’s tense, atmospheric tone.
