Samurai: Heaven and Earth

Samurai: Heaven and Earth es un cómic de Dark Horse del que compre el primer volumen hace algo más de un año. Es uno de los tomos que me cogí para tener algo que leer durante el verano, básicamente porque era sobre un Samurai y de Ron Marz. Y me gusto mucho. Esto básicamente es un recordatorio de que si durante Octubre no me llega el segundo tomo se me paso al hacer el pedido de Previews, así que tendré que conseguirlo de algún otro modo.

The samurai Shiro followed his kidnapped love, Lady Yoshiko, across eighteenth-century Europe and Asia, only to have her slip through his fingers in the fabulous halls of Versailles, where she was stolen away by a villainous Spanish nobleman. Now Shiro’s steadfast pursuit leads him across the Mediterranean, to the sands of fabled Egypt, where Yoshiko has been made a prized trophy in a desert warlord’s harem. With the glorious ruins of ancient Egypt as a backdrop, Shiro will make a final stand, and be reunited with Yoshiko no matter the cost . . .

“I think Luke and I were initially excited about taking the story into the desert because of the visual possibilities. A samurai among the Egyptian ruins is really a striking image,” Marz said “but as we got into it, the setting provided just a wealth of great story material. The story took us where it wanted to go, and Luke and I just held on for the ride.”

Samurai Heaven and Earth Volume II is now collected in a trade paperback, available through Dark Horse on October 10, 2007 at a retail price of $14.95.
