Blade of Kumori

In this 5-issue miniseries from Devil's Due Publishing (2004–2005), writer Ron Marz and artists Grafiksismik's Dub, Djief, and Giral craft a self-contained supernatural thriller set in feudal Japan. The story follows a lone swordsman whose blade is bound to a vengeful spirit, forcing him to hunt demons while wrestling with his own cursed humanity. It stands as a moody, action-driven entry in the creator-owned boom of the early 2000s, showcasing Marz's shift from mainstream superheroics to darker, mythic storytelling.
