Super Manga Blast! #45

Dark Horse's long-running manga anthology returns with issue #45, packing a generous 128 pages of serialized stories into one volume. The cover features a delicate illustration of a dark-haired girl in a white dress drifting amid a soft swirl of pink petals — a quietly striking image that sets the tone for the Shadow Star story arc teased prominently on the cover, promising that "chilling plans unfold as Dragon Bearers converge." Fans of the anthology's other ongoing series — Cannon God Exaxxion, Club 9, Seraphic Feather, and What's Michael? — each get story updates flagged right on the cover, making this a satisfyingly packed installment for readers following multiple titles.
