This manga however, was not campy or cheesy! I liked the artstyle, it was a little gritty, with a bit of an old school feel.
#Mobile suit gundam 0079 box set series
Some context, I have no prior knowledge about Gundam, except that it is a series with big piloted mechs that fight, and that the older episodes of the show I saw were a bit campy and cheesy. When I picked this up I was hoping it would be as cool as the cover, and for the most part it delivered. I enjoyed this opening volume and I liked it more than Mobile Suit Gundam: Origin manga. Lastly, the artwork was more detailed and carries the story more. These simple things helped add depth to the story in my opinion. Also the use of jazz music and the radio in the cockpit were a neat touch throughout the story. The brief backstory of Lorenz was cool to see (his childhood, the rise of the Principality of Zeon, exile). I felt it was an Enemy at the Gates situation with the two main characters trying to out-do each other on the battlefield. This story had more of a military feel with rank and operations & maneuvering, etc. This time it was set in a no-man's land sector called Thunderbolt because of its constant electrical storms and debris fields. This story is again war between the Principality of Zeon and the Earth Federation. This was a different take on the gundam subgenre.

The lightning-streaked debris fields are about to become the stage for an epic duel where death is the only true winner.more It’s the beginning of a rivalry that can end only when one of them is destroyed. Into this maelstrom of destruction go two veteran Mobile Suit pilots: the deadly Zeon sniper Daryl Lorenz, and Federation ace Io Fleming. One year later, they are locked in a fierce battle for the Thunderbolt Sector, an area of space scarred by the wreckage of destroyed colonies. In the Universal Century year 0079, the space colony known as Side 3 proclaims independence as the Principality of Zeon and declares war on the Earth Federation. An epic story of war and survival set in the legendary Gundam universe!
