Blade of the Immortal #120

Hiroaki Samura's long-running samurai saga continues with this striking issue, the third part of "The Sparrow Net" arc. Stan Shaw contributes a color Munji pinup for the cover, depicting the character in flowing crimson robes, a checkered hat, and facial markings — weapons drawn in each hand — rendered with an elegant, painterly warmth that feels distinct from the series' usual stark black-and-white interiors. It's a beautiful showcase for one of the series' more visually arresting figures, and a fine entry point for fans curious about the full cast surrounding immortal swordsman Manji.
