Fullmetal Alchemist Volume 9 by Hiromu Arakawa
The heroes return to Central Command after last issue's big battle. Back at HQ, bad news comes by the bucketload. Lieutenant Colonel Hughes has been killed and Maria Ross is in jail for it. They got too close to the information about the grand conspiracy around the Philosopher's Stone. If that wasn't bad enough, Barry the Chopper (whose soul is trapped in a suit of armor just like Alphonse's soul) escapes from the military and finds more anarchy, especially when he runs into his own boy brought back to life. Things are getting messy and more exciting.
I like the forward movement of the plot and the nice touches of comedy to lighten the overall darkness and tragedy. Hopefully there will be some good news in the next volume!
