| | Zombie Powder GN 1 - Review - Anime News Network |
 | | His life changes completely when Gamma Akutabi, a notorious criminal with a massive bounty on his head, comes to town looking for the mythical 12 Rings of the Dead, which when combined are said to allow the owner to make Zombie Powder, a substance that can grant immortality or bring the dead back to life. |
 | | Graphic content, action, and a sometimes-playful attitude are about the only things Zombie Powder has to offer, though, as little about the first volume distinguishes it from other titles centered on a bad-ass anti-hero who acquires a kid as a tag-along or protégé. |
 | | Even the mix of playfulness and ultra-graphic content is borrowed from Gunnm/Battle Angel Alita (although Zombie Powder emphasizes the playfulness much more), as are weapons with jet boosters to make their swing faster and stronger and oversized chain saws. |
