The all-star team of writer Ron Marz and artist Luke Ross returns for a sequel to last year's acclaimed series! The samurai Shiro followed his kidnapped love, Yoshiko, across Asia and Europe, from feudal Japan to Paris and the mirrored halls of Versailles. Reunited only briefly, the lovers were wrenched apart once again by the treachery of a Spanish nobleman determined to possess Yoshiko. Now the Spaniard has fled, with Yoshiko his prisoner, and Shiro pursues, swearing vengeance. Their journey will take them from Spain, to the azure waters of the Mediterranean, and finally to the sands of fabled Egypt. Swashbuckling historical epics have never looked so good, thanks to the exquisite artwork of Luke Ross (Jonah Hex). Praise for the first Samurai: Heaven and Earth series: 'The magnificence of Samurai: Heaven and Earth results from the combination of a charismatically eanest protagonist, the verisimilitude of the story's early eighteenth century settings, and the sheer grandeur of Luke Ross's artwork.' - Silver Bullet Comics ' Samurai features some of the best artwork I have ever seen in a comic. Ron Marz delivers a linear plot that manages to be entertaining because of its setting and style.' -IGN Samurai: Heaven & Earth? © 2006 Ron Marz and Luke Ross. Cover price $2.99.

Bastard Samurai takes place in present day Manhattan and focuses on Jiro, a killer at the top of his class at the KoZu sword school. The underground training camp in midtown takes in orphans and twists them into Bushido warriors used by the Yakuza in death matches staged across the city rooftops where Japanese businessmen gamble heavily on the always- fatal outcome. The Bastard Samurai trade collects the sold out critically acclaimed miniseries with a special bonus section!. For starters we've thrown in the killer five page preview from Powers #17 that started it all as well as a pinup gallery featuring visionary masters like Brian Steelfreeze, David Mack, Dave Johnson, Rick "son of Ikegami" Mays, Andy Lee and other amazing badasses. The trade also features an extensive look behind the scenes into the creative process of Oeming, Gunter and Shannon. You'll see how things go from concept to execution as well as deleted material deemed too weird by Mike. We at Bastard Samurai love well executed DVD extras as much as the next gaijin, so we're approaching the trade with this goal in mind.

Samurai Executioner is based on the decapitator himself, in life before his fatal duel with Lone Wolf.
