Dogs: Prelude

Dogs: Prelude is a single-issue manga volume from Viz Media, serving as an entry point to Shirow Miwa's gritty, gun-fu action series. Published in 2009, it compiles the earliest chapters of the story, introducing a dystopian underground city where amnesiac assassins and mysterious gunmen cross paths. This compact volume matters as it establishes the stylish, kinetic violence and fractured narrative that define the larger Dogs series.
