From award-winning Taiwanese creator Chang Sheng, uncover conspiracies in a post-apocalyptic world. The book that won Best Youth Comic and Comic of the Year at the Golden Comic Awards is wrought with mecha mayhem and alien attacks. BABY. Vol. 1 propels readers into a pulse-pounding post-apocalyptic world where parasitic aliens warp humans into monstrous machines and every clash threatens what's left of civilization. This high-stakes sci-fi thriller follows a survivor entangled in secrets of vengeance, identity, and the devastating price of power. With stylish visuals, tight pacing, and philosophical undercurrents, it sets the explosive foundation for a five-volume saga steeped in mecha warfare, alien horror, and dystopian intrigue. Chang Sheng is an acclaimed, award-winning Taiwanese creator celebrated for his hyper-detailed, video-game-inspired artwork and boundary-pushing storytelling. His previous works, Yan, winner of Best Comic at the Golden Comic Awards, and The Hidden Level, winner of the Grand Prize at the Kyoto International Manga Awards, cemented his reputation as a leading voice in the global manga landscape. Separately, BABY. itself has earned major accolades, winning Best Youth Comic and Comic of the Year at the 2nd Golden Comic Awards, establishing it as a defining title in Taiwan's rapidly growing comics scene. Perfect for fans of Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Dandadan, and readers seeking intense sci-fi action, alien conflict, and striking mecha battles, BABY. Vol. 1 is an essential showcase of Titan Manga and Taiwan's bold, prestige storytelling.
