For those of you who enjoy a good samurai story or just like exciting combat of the bladed variety, this one’s sure to please. Drawing as much from Japanese myth and legend (issue one features an oni and a huge feline malk/dragon creature, amongst other fun things) as from its history, Shi no Kage: Shadow of Death offers an interesting glimpse into feudal Japan as well as an engaging tale of honor, betrayal and intrigue.
