I started to introduce this with a whole discourse on how great the artwork is and how it's all line drawings... and then I realized it's an import. Of course, the compliment remains and I stand by it, I just wish American comics would take a page from this, and others like it - not to mention our own, rich history of sequential art!Marvel is proud to announce that Samurai: Legend #1, the latest release from the partnership between Marvel and Soleil, is in stores now! Writer Jean-Francois Di Giorgio and artist Frédéric Genêt tap into the rich mythology of the noble Samurai, creating a nuanced look at the fabled Japanese warriors, in the hit series that took Europe by storm! A samurai seeks to discover the answers to his mysterious past, as one of Japan's most important figures seeks to betray the Emperor—but just how are both connected to the 13th prophet? And what does it mean for the future of Japan? Plus, this issue features a variant exclusive to the U.S market!
Following in the tradition of the acclaimed Sky Doll and Universal War One, Marvel brings you another European best-seller—now finally presented in English!
Now's your chance to experience the acclaimed samurai action-thriller that's about to take North America by storm—it's Samurai: Legend #1 and it's on-sale NOW!
