BIG O TP VOL 05

Something happened 40 years ago to wipe out the memories of everyone living in Paradigm City. The people have lost their past and now they're desperate to grab the best future they possibly can. Into this world comes Roger Smith, super negotiator and giant robot pilot. Employing a combination of brains and brawn, this hero-for-hire keeps the peace in a city inching towards madness. After receiving a huge financial windfall, Paradigm City's crime boss is now living large in the city under the dome. But money, as everyone knows, can't buy happiness. Super Beck may be rich, but he'll never be happy until Roger Smith and the Big O are crushed! And in the most disturbing story yet, a disreputable fortune-teller exploits the pain of an orphan girl to garner fame and prestige for himself. The citizens of Paradigm City are taught a sad lesson: It's better to dream about the future than obsess about the past.
