Red Koi #1

Red Koi #1 introduces a striking return to ancestral roots, as samurai Ohira Eiko comes back to her father’s nearly abandoned home after five years. There, Kaeru unveils a long-buried secret, forcing Eiko to confront an ancient enemy tied to her clan’s past. Written and illustrated by Tyler Wentland, with colors by Nick Welch and letters by Wes Locher, the issue’s cover by Wentland captures the tension with a haunting, stylized stillness.
