Honor and Curse #1
Honor and Curse #1 introduces Genshi, a young shinobi training in the secluded Iga village nine years after his family’s brutal murder. Now a top student with a quiet devotion to Akemi, the lord’s daughter, he’s drawn into a growing threat as the rival Koga clan looms. When the village lord turns to his trusted servant, Master Nishiro, to prepare for war, a hidden truth about Genshi—tied to an ancient evil spirit—comes to light. Written by Mark London and illustrated with striking precision by Nicolás Salamanca, with colors by Tekino and letters by Miguel Angel Zapata, this first issue sets a tense, atmospheric tone. The cover, also by Salamanca, captures Genshi’s haunted gaze beneath a storm-laden sky.
