Michael Avon Oeming & Kelsey Shannon: Bastard Samurai 1 - Samurai Noir

Jiro is a student of the KoZu Sword School, an underground training camp in midtown Manhattan that takes in orphans and twists and transforms them into Bushido warriors. The Yakuza use these kids in death matches staged across the city rooftops where Japanese businessmen gamble heavily on the always-fatal outcome. This killing life is all Jiro has ever known. But a rendezvous with fate is about to change all of that. In one moment Jiro realizes that everything he has lived for is a lie. The Samurai live by the Bushido code, one of which is rectitude: the rightings of wrongs. Now with the only ally he has-his sword — Jiro is forced to make the hardest decision of his life.
