CAUGHT SERENA’S EYE: SAMURAI: LEGEND # 1

The Story: The European best-seller – now finally presented in English! Writer Jean-Francois Di Giorgio and artist Frédéric Genêt tap into the rich mythology of the noble Samurai, creating a nuanced look at the fabled Japanese warriors. Having become a samurai, Takeo feels strong enough to confront his past. On the borders of Japan, a terrible plan is being plotted: General Akuma, one of the Empire’s most influential figures, seems to be dead set on betraying the Emperor to his own advantage. However, a grave secret links the two men: the 13th prophet. Meanwhile, Takeo hopes to discover who he is. Why did he grow up in a monastery? And why was he abandoned by his brother ten years earlier? His quest will put him in deep torment, placing him in the middle of the dark destiny of the Empire and the 13th prophet!

Serena loved SKY DOLL and was looking into some of the other Soleil miniseries presented by Marvel. SAMURAI LEGEND definitely got her attention when she saw the cover art. After flipping though the pages to see more of the art style, she was sold. Let’s hope the story is great enough to make it an American best-seller!
