Outlaw Players #9

Volume 9 of Outlaw Players arrives from Ki-oon with a cover that crackles with kinetic energy — a spiky blond fighter mid-shout lunges forward with a curved blade while a dark-armored, scythe-wielding figure descends from above in a swirl of shadowy cloth. Creator Shonen's linework keeps both combatants in perfect dynamic tension against a fragmented blue-and-white background that feels lifted straight out of a high-stakes digital arena. If you've been following this shonen action series, 2019's ninth volume makes a very strong case for keeping up.
