Comments: Its the year 2050 and we are in Los Angeles. So in this world there are Cancellers like Roland Endo , Nicky Diamond and Big Boy. They and others are competing to bring down a criminal.
The art style is a weird tough one that is great for this type of story. The two match up beautifully. The colors are subdued. It is gritty and lets you know this is a future in which people and the world have moved on and its not all good.
Roland being a Canceller does cancel the criminals in a most violent way. This world is full of rough and dirty people. Roland has to go through other Cancellers to get to his target. He does enjoy his work and he is the best there is at it.
Things certainly take a most unexpected turn here. You will never see this coming. Yet it does make sense.
Roland is a guy who thinks and knows he is the best yet if everyone else is after him can he beat them all. He was a solder who while doing his duty had it effect him to much.
Roland is just a guy that is an ordinary man making himself special and there are those who do not like that.

Comments: Roland Endo a Canceller has been made the target. Other Cancellers are now after him and they are out to kill. These killers are not finessful they arre committed and do not stop until they are stopped hard.
Someone wants Roland dead and so far it is a mystery. Roland with help does track them down. Roland is one no nonsense man. When two brothers attack him he responds with ultra violence. Roland does react fast to any attack.
Roland is a rough and tough dude yet he is fair. He makes a good friend if you treat him right.
Now this business of broadcasting his fights is being controlled by someone else and the company well its making them money so they are only trying to increase the amount of money they make. It makes for compelling reading and you will be routing for him.
The art is roughly styled giving all the characters a hard lived look. It is tough living in this world and the release people have is a live reality show that the viewers love and love even more since it has been hacked.

Comments: Roland does find the hacker of Cancelled. The little girl has attitude and a reason to hate Roland. This twelve year old girl in intelligent and she wants her revenge. Roland hurt her and now its her turn. Roland was just doing his job earning his money yet he still did kill her brother.
A squad is sent after Roland and a Star Wars type lightsaber battle ensues. He starts to tin them out but the odds are to much so a twelve year old girl assists him.
Roland weapons up and gets a plan of attack he is coming for Kraft and plans to cancel Cancelled. Roland looks ready for anything. He better be with what awaits him next. His determination is strong but will it carry him through the coming battle.
The evil run corporation run by Kraft has made its biggest mistake and putting the biggest bounty on Roland's head is only going to get a lot more people killed. Well most of them as psychotic killers anyway. Roland is suited up and ready for battle.

Comments: Roland is taking head on the best or worse killers that Cancelled has to offer. Cancelled's head Mr. Kraft has his own version of Roland in Edge. Edge is a retired bounty hunter with his own suit made for battle. Roland's suit still has a few kinks in it. He does push through them and makes the best of it. He never gives up.
Roland and Edge do end up face to face. The two best of the cancellers and both are ready to fight to the death. The battle does go in a different way then you might expect when the little girl steps in. These two are the toughest of the tough.
Roland goes after the head of the corporation. Kraft has more men coming to fight for him. He though has made one mistake he turned on Roland, he betrayed Roland. Roland is a killer and knows it yet he does have a heart and he cares.
The ending to this series is fitting. You might not see it coming but it does work well.
