“Suppa Unsheathed”

"Suppa Unsheathed" kicks off Path of the Assassin #1 with Kite Kato, a man bound by duty and blade, reluctantly stepping beyond his sanctioned kills to unravel a string of murders tied to the enigmatic Motonubo and Masanri. Written by Kazuo Koike, Naomi Kokubo, and Jeff Carlso, and brought to life by Gōseki Kojima in both art and inks, the story unfolds with the quiet intensity of a blade drawn in silence. The cover, also by Kojima, captures the brooding tension of a world where every shadow holds a secret.
