Battle Angel Alita: Last Order, Vol. 7

While lovely cyborg Alita's allies battle real, personal, and existential demons in the Z.O.T. Tournament in hopes of distracting government forces long enough for Alita to rescue her friend Lou's brain from enslavement as a computer component, the deepest secrets of Alita's former life are finally revealed!

But sometimes it's better not to know the truth about your past--especially when you're the one responsible for the horror of everyone's present...

Battle Angel Alita: Last Order, Vol. 6

Competing in the rigged Z.O.T. Tournament in hopes of rescuing her friend Lou's brain from enslavement as a computer component, lovely cyborg Alita is locked into a battle to the death with a vampire! But how does one kill the undead!? Also, Master hacker Ping's alliance of convenience with Alita pays off beyond his wildest dreams; mad scientist Desty Nova makes a reappearance (of sorts); and an encounter with strangers raises a disturbing possibility about Alita's mysterious past....

Battle Angel Alita: Last Order, Vol. 5

Lovely Battle Angel Alita entered the Zenith of Things Tournament to liberate her friend Lou's brain from enslavement as a computer component, but to accomplish her goal she must defeat a team with an even worthier cause! As if this ethical dilemma weren't tough enough, a nasty ghost in her ear won't stop questioning her every motive...

Plus, pint-size yet scrappy Sechs gets a surpirsing new cyborg body with rather--er--different equipment!

Battle Angel Alita: Last Order, Vol. 4

Alita stages a unique protest to save children from becoming cannon fodder, joins forces with some unlikely allies to compete in a sporting event whose promoters have ulterior motives, and, well...dies!

Battle Angel Alita: Last Order, Vol. 3

Alita arrives on space station Ketheres to rescue her friend Lou's brain, which has been stolen and plugged into a vast array powering an A.I. known as "Melchizedek"! Before Alita can get over her culture shock, she gets embroiled in the vicious squabbles of a league of planets who have harnessed the secret of immortality itself!

Battle Angel Alita: Last Order, Vol. 2

The Utopian city of Tiphares' diabolical secret is out, pitting parent against child, metal against flesh! As the reluctant protector of a surviving band of innocents, recently resurrected cyborg Alita must stop a rampaging three-story-high robot with the mind of a three-year-old child! But all she really wants to do is find her long-lost friends from one of her many other lives....
