Volume 23 - 1st printing. "Tears of Ice!"

Written by Kazuo Koike. Art by Goseki Kojima. Cover by MATT WAGNER.

Holy hand grenades! Edo is flooded, and by flooded, we mean crazy-flooded. Bridges are crumbling, rivers are washing past retaining walls, and everything in Edo is floating away, including our vengeful ronin, his foe, and his little boy. In an ironic show of samurai respect, little Cub Daigoro gets saved by the conniving Retsudo Yagyu. And proving he can lend a hand, too, Lone Wolf Ogami pulls someone to safety as well - but maybe he should have let him drown. Eventually, the two opposing master swordsmen dry off and go head to head in a sword fight of a thousand stances and couple of days length. This seems like it could be the deciding bout between the two, unless that nasty, Abeno Kaii gets in the way, and he seems to do that a lot lately.

cover by shawn martinbrough geoff johns (w)/shawn martinbrough (p) THE SCOOP: Red-hot writer Geoff Johns (JSA) and penciler Shawn Martinbrough (Detective Comics) visit The House -- and shine a light into the darkest corners of the mutant experience! THE STORY: Throughout the United States, desperate and fearful mutants have banded together in small groups, living under the streets of our largest cities where they remain hidden from detection. They do not want to be heroes or villains... they only want to survive. More than just an urban legend, less than the horrific monsters America proclaims them to be. They've left behind their homes... their jobs... their loved ones. But for the Morlocks, there are still scores to settle! And even as the outcasts say last goodbyes, their fragile alliance begins to fray -- and anti-mutant paranoia leads to the dispatching of Sentinels to Chicago! This issue of the 4-part series is 40 pages, with ads. 7-59606-05249-3-00111 (MarvelPG) 2.50 Cover price $2.50.
