Orion

In this six-issue 1992–1993 Dark Horse series, Masamune Shirow—alongside writers Frederik L. Schodt and Toren Smith, and letterer Tom Orzechowski—expands on the intricate cyberpunk mythology of his earlier work. Orion follows a high-tech warrior-priestess and her cosmic struggle against a chaotic god of destruction, blending philosophical themes with Shirow's signature dense, kinetic artwork. It stands as a key entry in the early-'90s manga-influenced American comic boom, showcasing the creator's fascination with technology, mythology, and human nature.
