Sword Master #4

Issue four of Marvel's Sword Master finds our hero at the center of a stunning standoff — glowing blade raised high, flanked by two fierce allies crackling with supernatural energy, while three silhouetted figures stand their ground on a rocky outcropping above a churning mass of monstrous, skeletal creatures. The sense of scale here is genuinely impressive, with waves of grotesque horrors pressing in from below against what feels like impossible odds. And as the cover banner promises, the issue also features a backup story with Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu — making this a solid double dose of Marvel's martial arts world for 2019 readers.
