Minetaro Mochizuki, Dragon Head, vol. 9 (Tokyopop, 1999)

Teru has finally made it back to Tokyo to look for his family, and what he finds there is about what he expected; the city is destroyed, the ash is thick in the air, and the streets are deserted. That does not mean, however, that the city is empty... we get closer to unraveling the mystery of the Dragon Heads and get a nightmare tour of downtown Tokyo post-disaster. As always, Mochizuki is adept with creating claustrophobia with liberal use of blackspace and character body language. Another solid volume. *** ½
