Blade of the Immortal #99

Issue #99 of Hiroaki Samura's Blade of the Immortal opens the four-part "Trickster" arc, and the cover wastes no time setting the mood — a brooding, sharp-eyed swordsman fills the frame, gripping a pronged weapon with quiet menace against a stark, shadowed background. Samura's pencil-and-wash artistry gives the figure a raw, textured presence that feels both intimate and dangerous. A fine entry point into one of Dark Horse Manga's most compelling long-running series.
