Archive for the 'Cowboy Bebop' Series
The Bebop is a ship with an unusual crew of interplanetary bounty hunters. This series, the second manga spinoff of the anime, introduces Kai Lucas, who hires the Bebop’s crew to track down his doppelganger. The crew, led by the reckless Spike Spiegel and the former ISSP cop Jet Black, Includes the conniving con dame Faye Valentine, hacker Radical Edward and Ein the data dog. However, this is not exactly the same Cowboy Bebop you may be used to: The characters are familiar but they have modified origins and subtle personality differences, not to mention that Spike’s hair is different.
This “retelling” of the Cowboy Bebop TV show features completely new stories with some of the original anime’s elements. The characters have been redesigned and there are major variations from the series, but some basic things remain the same. Jet Black & Spike Spiegel are bounty hunters on the spaceship Bebop. Though they are supposed to be hunting for criminals on the run, the pair are better at catching crew mates. The duo reluctantly becomes a quintet with the addition of Ed the hacker, Ein the data dog, and the beautiful Faye Valentine. The Bebop crew also make an enemy in Scorpion, a 13 year old commander in the Dragon Head syndicate. He ruthlessly pursues Spike and friends where ever they go.
