Tranquility
A man who seeks solitude and oblivion, isolation in the highest top of a mountain, chanting prayers and salvation, often is trying to forget and forgive about the turmoils of his past, so he won´t turn into the monster that he was forced to glimpse and accept - that´s the story behind this "Hulk" version of the medieval/Feudal Japan, where a village is being constantly attacked by a group of bandits (samurais that have lost their masters) and in the mountain lives a monk, that legend says used to be a valuable warrior, so the eldest of the village goes to plea him to save the village from the attackers - that´s the kickstart for this interesting tale about peace, self knowledge and that we cannot run from our nature. I guess Millligan did a terrific job in the dialogues and the construction of the narrative, add to that the personal touch of the great art of Talajic and you have a very good issue. I recommend this.
