Wow, I knew that the original Violence Jack was a quasi-sequel to Devilman, but I had no idea that Shin Violence Jack was more of a direct continuation of the story. Even though the ending doesnt make any sense to me (more volumes? bad translation?) this is definitely worth your time if youre a fan of Devilman or Go Nagai, if you can track it down. Don't believe this one was licensed in the US, making it that much harder to find, and makes me appreciate his work even more.
