Blade of the Immortal #77

A blood-soaked blade thrust skyward against a glowing, smoke-tinged backdrop sets a deliberately ominous tone for this fifth chapter of the "Fall Frost" arc. Hiroaki Samura's cover image is spare but striking — the weapon's dark, gore-streaked silhouette rising from a shadowy mass says everything about the violence that defines this series. The tagline "It's a battle to the brink!" makes clear that tensions in this arc are reaching a fever pitch.
