Stan Sakai's cover art sets the mood perfectly — a band of sword-bearing samurai charges forward within a deep crimson circle, their expressions fierce and resolute, while a slash of blood red cuts across the title above. This Dark Horse collection brings Mike Richardson and Stan Sakai's retelling of one of Japan's most enduring tales of loyalty and sacrifice to the page, with editorial consultation from Kazuo Koike lending the project genuine historical and dramatic weight. If you're drawn to stories of honor tested to its absolute limit, this 2014 volume makes a compelling case for itself from the very first glance.
