Blade of the Immortal #127

Hiroaki Samura's painterly artistry is on full display in this haunting issue of Blade of the Immortal, subtitled "Life or Death." The cover presents a battered, darkly imposing figure looming behind a wounded young woman, a blade pressed close as scattered blue petals drift across the composition — the tension between protector and threat rendered with Samura's characteristically delicate yet brutal brushwork. This Eagle Award-winning series continues to deliver, and the issue also features a color pinup by Farel Dalrymple.
