Basilisk #3

A striking close-up of a steely-eyed warrior dominates this cover, a blade drawn across his face in a gesture that speaks to both precision and danger. Published by Kurokawa in 2007, this third volume of Basilisk — adapted by Masaki Segawa from Fûtarô Yamada's story — carries that same intense, brooding energy that defines the series. If you're following this tale of rival ninja clans, the moody green-tinted artwork here makes a compelling case for picking this one up.
