Blade of the Immortal #112

Hiroaki Samura's art is at its most hauntingly intimate on this cover, where a young woman crouches partially submerged in dark, greenish water, her damp hair falling across her face as she gazes out with an expression of quiet wariness. The muted, painterly palette — all murky greens and sepia — gives the image a fragile, melancholy beauty that sets the tone for "On the Perfection of Anatomy: 1 of 6," a new story arc within this long-running Dark Horse series. If you've been following Samura's celebrated samurai epic, this opening chapter promises a thoughtful, visually stunning continuation.
