While Batu slips back to Kugai to hunt Yuda, the Death Lord who assassinated Yaki's father, Genji takes the young girl on a treacherous journey through desert wastelands in search of a clan that will protect her. The clan that Batu and Genji have in mind is a group of strong, brutish warriors who thrive on fear and discipline-but one that even the soldiers of Kugai fear and avoid. Hoping that these savages will both protect and train Yaki, Genji risks her life to deliver the young child into the hands of monsters.

Yaki is the daughter of Kugai's former military commander, Yarong, the powerful Shaman Warrior who was betrayed by his own general and king. With Yaki somewhat safe, Batu searches for Yarong's killer, the heartless Death Lord Yuda, and plots to bring the rulers of Kugai to their knees. Batu and the young Shaman Warrior Horakaan seek counsel with the desert renegade Aragorn, who may be building an army against Batu's former homeland. Back in the brutal Butcher Camp stronghold, Yaki considers a daring escape when she gains a few allies of her own. * One of the best-selling manhwa epics of all time, Shaman Warrior recently won the Korean Culture & Content Agency's 2006 "Best Manhwa of the Year" award!

When you're the daughter of the most powerful shaman warrior who's ever lived, it's just the tale you want to hear before you set off to destroy those who murdered your father and have a genocidal hatred of your people. The corrupt forces of Kugai, which have sworn to destroy the shaman warriors and their bloodlines, have no idea that Batu, Yaki, and the resourceful shaman Horakaan are setting a plan in motion to kill their General. Yuda, the Death Lord who defeated Yarong, senses that his opponents are getting near, though . . . and he has some nasty surprises of his own in store for them!

With her hereditary powers still untapped, Yaki holds her own, and her sword-fighting and stealthy assassin skills help her carve a bloody path to the heartless general who ordered the death of her father-the great shaman leader Yarong. Picking up right where our last volume's cliffhanger left us, Batu's showdown with Yuda-the Death Lord who defeated Yarong-reaches its explosive conclusion, and Nejo claws his way from the grave to a dangerous desert town in his search for Yaki.

Whips, bombs, swords, and the ominous powers of a shaman warrior-this volume is sure to knock your socks off! Yaki's quest to avenge her father and protect the endangered shaman bloodline nears its finale, as Korea's best-selling fantasy epic enters its pulse-pounding and artery-squirting homestretch in this eighth volume in a series of nine. We've watched Yaki grow into a heartless assassin and beautiful woman, and she's destined to carve a bloody path to the backstabbing general who ordered the death of her father-with or without her own shaman powers awakening.

Yaki is also reunited with Nejo, a fellow orphan who stole her heart when they were being raised in the brutal Butcher Camps. Fickle fate's placed Nejo in the middle of a violent misunderstanding, however, and his strength and resolve will be further tested after a horrible accident separates him from Yaki once again.

Volume 1 - 1st printing.

Written by Katarina. Art and cover by Ryosuke Fuji. Translated by Kevin Gifford.

Second-year high school student Rakuro Hizutome loves nothing more than finding so-called "trash games" and beating the crap out of them. When he decides to change things up by playing a new, "god-tier" VR game known as Shangri-La Frontier (a.k.a. SLF), he does what he does best: min-maxes, skips the prologue, and jumps straight into action!

Rakuro may be a seasoned gamer, but a meeting with an old rival will change the fate of every SLF player forever. Clad in nothing but shorts and a bird mask, Rakuro takes down a goblin, a bunny, and even a python. But then Sunraku comes up against a huge, hard-hitting wolf known as Lycagon the Nightslayer. Will Sunraku's years of "trash game" experience be enough, or is he about to suffer a rude awakening just a few hours into his SLF adventure?

by SCOTT ALLIE and PACO MEDINA The legendary Shinobi returns! Shinobi was a quarter-crunching arcade monster in the late 80's. Sega is proudly bringing the old-school classic back this November on Playstation 2, updating the game with next-generation graphics, new combat techniques, and unlimited gameplay freedom. Shinobi: The Rise of Hotsuma presents the untold story of Hotsuma and his battle with his brother Mortisune to take control of a cursed blade and become leader of a clan of ninjas. The events in the comic directly lead up to the start of the game, as Hotsuma begins his battle through the demon-filled streets of post- apocalyptic Tokyo. Ultra-talented Paco Medina (Planet of the Apes, Suicide Squad) handles art duties, with Scott Allie's adaptation of an original screenplay provided by Sega. The comic will also feature production sketches, interviews, behind-the- scenes info, and more! On sale November 6 FC, 32pg (one-shot) . . . $2.99 Cover price $2.99.
