Not everyone needs a license to fight for justice!

In a superpowered society, there is nothing ordinary about evil anymore. Heroes, trained and licensed to protect and defend the public against supervillains, stand above all the rest. Not everyone can be a hero, however, and there are those who would use their powers to serve the people without legal sanction. But do they fight for justice in the shadows, or for reasons known only to themselves? Whatever they fight for, they are called...vigilantes.

Captain Celebrity and Koichi gave it all they had to hold off the explosive attacks set up by the mysterious high-speed villain. But now, as the Sky Egg stadium plunges earthward, can anyone save the day? And just who is the sinister speedster? What is his connection to Knuckleduster? Koichi's mentor still has a lot of secrets he hasn't told anyone. Later, Aizawa helps Koichi deal with a minor villain and the encounter triggers a memory from his youth...

Volume 8 - 1st printing. "A Blessing Amid Crisis!" Written by Louis Cha. Art and cover by Wee Tian Beng. Translated by Jean Lim. This comic series illustrates the love story between an orphan Yang Guo and his beautiful master, Dragon Girl, during the turmoil of the Song Dynasty. Their love was hindered by many factors, including protests from the conservative society which disapproved of marriages between masters and disciples. Though they met with many hardships and were later separated for sixteen years, their devotion for each other never diminished. Their love is best expressed in the theme song: "O Mortals, what is Love that binds beyond life on earth?" Yang Guo also faced another dilemma - the person he respected and trusted most was involved in the death of his father. Despite his trials and tribulations, he emerged a powerful swordsman and gained recognition and respect from the people who despised him. This tender love story, skillfully illustrated by cartoonist Wee Tian Beng, will captivate readers from the first to the last of Yang Guo's exploits. Softcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 150 pages, B&W.
