    Volume 1 last edited by RazielWraith on 09/27/18 10:36PM View full history

    Beginning in feudal Japan of 1704, Samurai: Heaven & Earth follows Shiro, a lone samurai warrior sworn to be reunited with the love of his life who has been spirited away by his enemies. His pursuit of Yoshiko will carry him farther than he could have imagined --from his native Japan to the sprawling empire of China, across Europe, and finally to Paris itself. There, in the fabled halls of King Louis XIV's Versailles, he must cross blades with the greatest swordsmen ever known if he is to reclaim his love.

    Ron Marz and artist Luke Ross, fresh off their triumphant finale on Green Lantern, have turned their skills to a historical epic in the tradition of Lone Wolf and Cub and Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers. Joined by Eisner-nominated colorist Jason Keith, they have produced a lushly illustrated tale of devotion and high adventure.

    Samurai: Heaven & Earth Vol.1 and 2 is basically a love story where the main character, Shiro, a Samurai, searches across Asia and Europe to find his love, Yoshiko, who's been kidnapped. While the story does make the Samurai almost look unbeatable, despite there weapons, armor and fighting style being outdated after the 1500 hundreds. Now I said "almost unbeatable" because when he runs into the Musketeers, he doesn't beat them, they defeat him. Although not because of a better style, one of ...
