In "The Darkness and the Soul, Part 2," Stan Sakai continues his masterful storytelling with a tale of sacrifice and spiritual weight, as a priest confronts the earthly shadow of dark gods to save a feudal lord’s dying daughter—risking his own soul in the process. With all art and lettering by Sakai, the issue’s quiet intensity is matched only by its haunting visuals, rendered in his signature style across both interior and cover, which he also penciled and inked.
