The Rundown: The Science Ninja Team is sent to fight a new threat that could claim one of their own.
Dr. Nambu brings the team to check out a martial arts tournament whose champion will be brought in to teach the trainees new techniques of fighting. As the new trainer is introduced to the other squads, Gatchaman is called to a seemingly tranquil city being attacked by a Galactor mecha dousing them with a mist that causes the citizens to attack each other.
Dispatched to contain the population while the scientists work on a cure, the team jumps into action. Unfortunately, their first attempts to stop the mist fail and as they fight off the rampaging citizens, one of them will succumb to the toxin and turn his attention on the rest of the team.
The Story: Bunn continues to craft a fun, exciting and entertaining story in this issue. I continue to love the tone of the story and the expanding universe being created within it. I love the dialogue with the characters and the tension between many of them. I love the immediacy of the action and even though I could tell where the story was going, it got there in interesting ways that kept me engaged.
The Art: Batista delivers beautiful art throughout the issue. The visuals are stunning and I love both the character designs and the action.
