SCAR IS COMING TO TOWN
Ed and Al return to the Eastern Front HQ to report to their superior, Colonel Mustang, who hooks them up with Shou Tucker, the "Sewing-Life" Alchemist who is researching bio-alchemy and who has the ability to create "chimeras", life-forms that are a blend of two genetically different organisms. Hopefully, he will give Ed a clue as to how to restore his and Al's bodies. Ed is going to be a little distracted though, as a vengeful man known as "Scar" is stalking State Alchemists and killing them horribly. It's as though when he touches them, their bodies explode! And he's gunning for Ed while he's in the city. <

>While not quite as good as the anime, this second volume is almost as enjoyable. The heartbreaking story of Tucker and his little daughter is truly a tragic one and exposes Ed and Al to things no normal kids could deal with. Arakawa does a good job of reminding us that they ARE kids intermitently no matter how deep the storyline. I would say that the manga version has a bit more humor than the anime. There are some differences in the two versions so I would highly recommend both. Great book and anime. <
