The Ghost in the Shell, one of the most revered manga of all time, unleash top Western comics artists in four all-new stories on human identity.

A crimelord exploits prisoners of war to run a remotely-controlled global strike force, and the investigation reunites Kusanagi with an old friend and pits them both against Chinese security forces. A family see their dead daughter on television, except she looks 15 years younger than she did when she died. The infiltration of anti-cyberisation cult calls for Section 9's most 'human' members to abandon the support of their enhanced colleagues and do things the old-fashioned way.
