Product Description

Dark Horse hits the ground running with a newly expanded and redesigned edition of master storyteller Masamune Shirow`s Dominion. A wild sci-fi police comedy set in a future where the norms are vast, bio-constructed cities, air so foul that citizens must wear masks outside, and a police department that includes a squad of crack tank police! Join Leona, her pet tank Bonaparte, and her lovesick partner Al as they confront the villainous Buaku and his felinoid accessories-to-crime. Leona`s goal: to rescue Crolis, a mysterious green-skinned girl with the power to cleanse the air around her, and the potential to renew the poisoned earth. Added to this edition are Phantom of the Audience, a 1994 Dominion one-shot never before collected in the U.S., and an all-new cover!

Customer Reviews

Don't confuse the two books...
Dominion: Conflict 1 (No More Noise) is not Dominion : Tank Police. In Conflict all the tanks are mini, the bad guy flies a plane (because the air is nice and clean) and the Puma sisters are now COPS! Jealous meter maids, corrupt officials and a tank design competition. Will mini-tanks be replaced?
The fact is this book is set in a universe totally different from the DVDs and the other manga. Extras include the fact files in the back, plus lots of scenes with the Puma sisters. They're easy to make happy, just give them candy or food, and they can sleep anywhere. Anna can even change her size (but I prefer her in her adult, shapely, size). Uni, on the other hand, seems more serious about the job.

Welcome to the future...
From the creator of Ghost in the shell, Massamune Shirow, comes a story about the future in which mankind has to wear oxygen masks outside, lives in bio-created cities and fears crime levels so high that the police use tanks! The main character is a tank-loving Leona Ozaki,a police mini-tank commander, who seems to be fighting a one-woman war against crime, which in most cases means she is dealing with Buaku, a master criminal, and his two catgirl thugs, the Puma sisters (who make an appearance in Ghost in the Shell).
The fact is, that Buaku has more than just gold coins on his mind. In fact, the future of planet Earth, and the human race, hangs in the balance. Can the tank police stop him or will he get away with more than just cash?
Great book. Has extras, like character files and even a small chapter on min-tanks. Also includes an extra story - Phantom of the Audience. Like most of Shirow's books there is great artwork and lots of humor as well as important themes about mankind and his changing world. Not as solid as Ghost in the Shell, but frankly, what manga is?

This is the wrong book!
All of the editorial and customer reviews refer to Dominion: Tank Police; This is not that book. Do not buy this book unless you want to be seriously dissapointed when a paperback novel about Canadians shows up. Search for "dominion tank" and it will show up with a photo of the cover.
