In this episode, Xan ventures into the grim, oppressive world of Tower Dungeon by legendary creator Tsutomu Nihei (Blame!, Knights of Sidonia).
Does the master of sci-fi architecture successfully conquer the dark fantasy genre with this tale of a nightmarish, living tower? We explore whether his iconic style creates a new horror classic or falters outside its usual domain.
Also in This Episode:
The latest update on the "45 Books in One Year" project (now reading: Holding Pattern).
We're taking requests! What movie should we tackle in our next review episode?
All the breaking news from the manga world.
