DaiGuard Checks and Balances of Terror Vol 3

Product Description In desperate times, the people of Earth search for a new hero- hopefully one that comes fully loaded with a lifetime guarantee! What they have is DAI- GUARD. The Heterodyne invaders think they have the advantage, but they don't understand that it's not the age of the steel, but the spirit of the pilots that counts. Our daring trio is about to show their enemies that a good heart and a can-do attitude are stronger than the latest technology. Let's just hope they don't get laid off before the final battle! Amazon.com The comic misadventures continue as Dai-Guard pilots Akagi, Aoyama, and Ibuki find themselves caught in the quarrels between their employer, 21st Century Defense Security Corporation, and the Japanese army. Infuriated that Dai-Guard has usurped the role of defending Japan against the monstrous Heterodynes, the Army produces its own battle robot, Kokubogar. But a blobby red Heterodyne engulfs Kokubogar and proceeds to terrorize Tokyo. Stuffy special agent Shirota proves a poor substitute for the injured Akagi when he tries to save the situation. Despite his wounds, the overeager Akagi leads the evacuation of a hospital, then pilots Dai-Guard to victory. Dai-Guard may be the Edsel of the mecha world, but technical wizard Rika Domeki and her long-suffering assistant Sumida provide jazzy new weapons that settle the Heterodynes' hash. It's reassuring to know these office workers are still saving the world. (Rated 12 and older: violence, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon
