Ronin Island #9

A young warrior stands at the prow of a small boat, sword in hand, as two massive warships with mon-emblazoned sails flank her against a blazing sunset sky — it's a striking image of resolve caught between overwhelming forces. Greg Pak, Giannis Milonogiannis, and Irma Kniivila have built Ronin Island into one of BOOM! Studios' most visually compelling series, and this ninth issue looks to push that momentum forward with confidence. If you've been following this tale of samurai, survival, and identity, the open water and looming vessels on this cover suggest the stakes are very much still rising.
