Editorial Review:
In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm and his leg, and his brother Alphonse became nothing but a soul in a suit of armor. Equipped with mechanical "auto-mail" limbs, Edward becomes a state alchemist, seeking the one thing that can restore his brother and himself...the legendary Philosopher's Stone.

Rating:  - Things are really gearing up now.
Hiromu Arakawa, Fullmetal Alchemist, vol. 9 (ViZ, 2004)
The fallout from the attack on Laboratory 5 is still coming thick and fast. The government are investigating the death of Maes Hughes (about which the Elric brothers still know nothing), Havoc is stuck in a small apartment guarding Barry the Chopper, the homicidal homunculus, and Ed and Al meet a prince from Xing on the train to Central. (Yes, that becomes important.) It's a volume of setup, but that doesn't mean the action ... Read More
Rating:  - A new and bold direction.
A new and bold direction. The series is very quickly moving in a different direction from the anime it inspired. The plot and the action just becomes more intense and intriguing with every volume. And at the end of this volume things heat up to the point of a small war in the streets between the homunculi and Mustang's men. A must read.
Rating:  - VIZ really needs better editors....
I am not under 13, I'm just too lazy (oh dear, I'm becoming Sloth!) to get on account on Amazon. Scold me if you want.
VIZ Media has never been the best translator in my opinion, in Volume One there was a "gold pocket watch" and I'll always prefer "Brother" and "Nii-san" to "Big Brother." But those I'm pretty okay with. With the release of this Volume, I draw the line. On one of the first pages, Ed and Al's lines are switched. If ALPHONSE made the mask Ranfan (or "Lan Fan" in the VIZ translation) ... Read More
Rating: - Fullmetal 9-Another Great Addition
This latest installment in the Fullmetal Alchemist series is no different from its formers. Ed and Al face the death of their friend Maes Hughes hanging over their heads, and now the death of Maria Ross as well. Winry stands with them through it, but she is suffering as well. While Barry the Chopper gets loose trying to kill his human body, Riza and the others close to Roy are facing the Homunculi. Roy races to the scene, praying he won't lose another friend to the killers. It's a stunning and heart-breaking addition ... Read More
Rating: - FRIEND OR FOE?
Ed, Al, and Winry return to Central Command and land plop in the middle of the latest Homunculi plot to frame their friend 2nd Lt. Maria Ross as the shooter in the murder of Lt. Col. Hughes. Colonel Mustang still isn't convinced that she did it and is still searching for the information his colleague was killed for. Meanwhile, Barry the Chopper, the serial killer whose soul was transplanted into an armored suit similar to Al, busts out of his safehouse where he was being held by Mustang and his crew for his own safety ...
