1. Pluto

I've never enjoyed Manga, so this recommendation should count double coming from my lips.

Pluto was an incredible work of comic book-ing. It was deep and powerful and frightening and emotional. Pluto re-imagined one of the most memorable stories from Astro Boy (known as Mighty Atom in Japan), a classic example of Manga if there ever was one. But, while the original was a classic-recipe superhero story, Pluto was a sci-fi murder mystery about robots and what it meant to not be human. The series changed perspective from Astro and Co. to Geischt, the robot detective sent to uncover who was killing robots. And not just killing them, I'm talking True Detective Season One-style occult presentations of the bodies, too.

It was a creepy thrill ride that I don't want to give too much info about for fear of spoiling it. Just read the thing, even if you didn't give two craps about Astro Boy.

And there you go! See, sometimes dark ‘n’ gritty reboots are good! Most of the time they aren’t, but hey, anything can be done well on occasion.
