Akira #8

Chaos reigns in the secret government project run by the Colonel in 21st Century Neo- Tokyo. Two prisoners--Kay, young agent of the underground resistance, and Kaneda, vengeance driven leader of a teenage motorcycle gang--are on the loose in his skyscraper headquarters. His special team of mutant children are plotting on their own against Tetsuo, delinquent become psychic-powered killer. Once the Colonel's hope as a check against the greatest threat of all--the sleeping paranormal giant, AKIRA--Tetsuo is proving wild and uncontrollable, bent on a test of psychic might with the children arrayed against him. As this showdown begins, Kaneda and Kay will be wild cards...perhaps in destroying Tetsuo, perhaps in driving him to even greater acts of violence.
