Samoerai #6

A battle-hardened elder warrior dominates the cover of this sixth chapter in Di Giorgio and Genêt's Samoerai series, his long silver hair swept dramatically as he wields a drawn sword in one hand and a broken arrow in the other — every detail radiating fierce, hard-won experience. Genêt's cover linework is breathtaking, capturing both raw tension and a kind of weathered elegance in the figure's dynamic stance against a clean white backdrop accented by delicate cherry blossoms. "Shobei" promises a compelling new chapter, and this 2012 release makes clear the series was hitting its stride in both storytelling ambition and visual craft.
