Blade of the Immortal #128

Hiroaki Samura's Eagle Award-winning series continues with issue #128, kicking off the "Badger Hole" arc (part 1 of 4) with a cover that puts a cloaked, masked young woman front and center — her sharp eyes fixed straight at the viewer, hood pulled low against a stormy orange sky. The tension in her gaze and the deliberately concealed face make for a quietly gripping image that captures the series' blend of brooding atmosphere and precise draftsmanship. Dark Horse Manga delivers another compelling chapter of one of the most acclaimed samurai stories in American manga publishing.
