...critiques of the modern world's shallowness are set off against a sense of a Christian past that has been lost, a past that can be regained by the determined individual. Except for a deep sense of compassion for the plight of immigrants, Kunzru's work has no similar moral center, no vision of what a better world might look like. Indeed, as his publisher's publicity machine swings into action to make sure Kunzru's new novel earns a hefty return on their investment, it's hard to escape the feeling that Transmission is not really a chastisement...

...spiritual essays and the beauty of the drawn arts. Among other themes, "Karma" manages to be about the role of the artist in society, the relationship between religious experience and human endeavors, the misuse of religion for the sake of power and the importance of trying to lead a moral life. Wisely putting the needs of good art before the needs of religious instruction, Tezuka avoids the didactical trap of American religious comics. Using his unbeatable powers of the comic arts, he keeps the story moving at a clip while also managing to create two complex and flawed heroes...
