Blade of the Immortal #14

Hiroaki Samura's cover for this issue of Blade of the Immortal centers on a striking figure — a young woman in a vivid red kimono, her dark hair swept back as she lies splayed against a muted golden background, two swords and scattered chain weapons arranged around her like fallen offerings. The composition has an almost ritualistic stillness, the bold crimson of her robes contrasting with the worn, earthy tones surrounding her. Dark Horse's manga imprint brings Samura's hauntingly beautiful linework to full effect here, making this a visually arresting entry in the series.
