Please note: We are now meeting IRL for the first time in several years at Goblin Market in Chicago. Discord is still available for people who log in remotely.

"Search and and Destory Vol. 1" 「サーチアンドデストロイ」is from cult manga-ka Atsushi Kaneko (カネコアツシ) (best known for "Bambi and Her Pink Gun") is a reimagining of Osamu Tezuka's classic manga Dororo with more of a sci fi dystopic setting. Kaneko's style is one that hyper emphasizes the "comic bookiness" of his work. We'll be reading just the first volume released to sample this series. We've decided to host this event IRL at Goblin Market, but will still be running discord for those who want to come in remote.

This is a tale of rage. Rage against hypocrisy, injustice, exploitation, and the wrongs done to a child who grew into a righteous killer….Complete in three volumes, Search and Destroy transplants the vengeful action of Dororo from feudal Japan into a dystopian future where mercenary robots known as "creatures" serve the human elite and victimize the city's scrabbling, desperate masses. The violent death of one of these creatures connects an orphaned thief named Doro with a mysterious girl in a stinking animal hide that conceals deadly cybernetic implants. Who is this mysterious girl? How is she killing, one by one, the city's most twisted and powerful creatures?
