BUBBLEGUM CRISIS Vol. 1-8 $34.95 each This is a great cyberpunk series taking place in Neo-Tokyo in the relatively near future.
The stories in this series center around the Knight Sabers, a group of 4 women in "hardsuits" (high tech battle armor) and their ongoing clash with the Genom Corporation, the world's largest multi-national corporation. Genom is interested in taking over the world. To deal with those that oppose them they use "boomers" (Terminator like cyborgs) to eliminate those that the money and influence can't handle - like the Knight Sabers.
The Knight Sabers public image is that of a group of mercenaries who take
missions from whoever has the money to hire them, sometimes including the
police. Though they do take some missions for money (one must eat, after
all) their main purpose is to oppose Genom's plans for world domination.
The father of Sylia Stingray, the Knight Sabers leader is the man who
invented the boomers. His intent was that they be used for peaceful
purposes, freeing mankind from all sorts of dangerous labors. Genom, who
he was working for, was more interested in their combat applications.
When Doctor Stingray learned of this he tried to resist Genom and, of
course, was killed. This is why Sylia formed the Knight Sabers: to gain
revenge for her father, advance his dream for the peaceful uses of
boomers and to oppose Genom in general.
