    Fanatic: Part 2 of 2 - Story and art by Hiroaki Samura. To atone for his sins, Manji was cursed with immortality -- he must kill 1,000 sinners before he will be released from his suffering. But when he is bested in battle -- when he strikes a killing blow which fails to kill -- he wonders if he is the only warrior who carries this curse. It seems there is another who cannot die, one who rejoices in his ability to survive any fight. One who is willing to spend his eternity sending good people to early graves. 32 pages, B&W.
