"Ax lives up to its name - sharp, cutting-edge, a bit scary and dangerous, slicing through formula and genre. Ax is the hub of the latest indy auteur Japanese comics that I've been longing to see brought out in English. So far we've only seen the tip, so grab this collection and prepare to be astounded as you dig deeper than ever into the massive iceberg that is manga." -- Paul Gravett, author of Manga: 60 Years of Japanese Comics
