TLDR: Olay return to the universe for die haed fans to get a little more character story. For new people this should be a pass in favor of the manga.
As a huge fan of the Alita series, I was excited to dive into this book. I'll dig into nearly anything that expands the 'verse a little.
From a background perspective the book does pretty well. You're getting more backstory of the key characters from the movie (and for some in the books) and you get more exposure to the sad, dark, just focus on your own survival that is Iron City
From an overall plot perspective there really isnt one. The characters have a connection, and there is somewhat of a unifying story around a chip and later on a newer character, but nothing that really drives the whole story.
