There is no way that this should work: take the most beloved Astro Boy story by Osamu Tezuka ("The Greatest Robot On Earth"), give it to modern manga master Naoki Urasawa (Monster) and let him go all future-noir murder mystery with it. Not only does Urasawa pull it off (at least in the first two volumes), he's created something streching the boundaries beyond remake and beyond homage that's full of re-worked Astro characters, intrigue and really, really nice pictures.
