An exquisitely drawn tale of vengeance, blood, and sex from creator of the classic samurai comic Blade of the Immortal! WHEN GIRL POWER LEADS TO GIRL VIOLENCE An exquisitely drawn tale of vengeance, blood, and sex from creator of the classic samurai comic Blade of the Immortal! OLD GHOSTS COME TO CALL Wergelder- In Germanic law, the money paid by a murderer or his family to the victim's family in atonement. Reeling from a roller coaster of revelations, Shinobu and her ragtag band of allies must contend with capable foes determined to keep them silent, while Jie Mao pulls on a thread that may lead her to more than just the truth she seeks. The gross underbelly of the Hill-Myna Corporation continues to be pulled into the light, and with it a forgotten face from Nami's past! An international melding of extreme martial arts, gonzo ultra-violence, and dark humor from the Eisner award-winning creator of Blade of the Immortal, Hiroaki Samura!
Born in 1970, Hiroaki Samura became one of the first Japnaese artists to become widely popular among American comics readers when his Blade of the Immortal began publication in English in 1997. Uniquely for a manga artist, Samura enjoyed a partial education in classical art before dropping out of college to start drawing Blade.
