This is the official comic adaptation of Bandai's Cartoon Network hit, a stylish "manga meets film noir" tale that goes BEYOND the TV series' plot. Paradigm City is the city of amnesia—40 years ago, SOMETHING occurred that erased the residents' memories, compelling them to rebuild their culture from scattered fragments. In this world, which is only 40 years old, Roger Smith works as a negotiator—a mediator between police, citizens, and criminals in high-risk diplomatic situations. Yet something else endures from the forgotten past. They are the MegaDeuses—giant robots built by the city's former inhabitants, or perhaps by the forgetful citizens themselves. When crime and madness strike, Roger Smith brings the guilty to justice using the giant robot known as THE BIG O.
