ABOUT
An outrageous new action series, like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure meets Fist of the North Star!
Brains and Brawn Sprawl Out
As the yakuza’s Doctors Without Salvation gleefully celebrate Tokyo’s downfall, the ninja prepare for a comeback. Uryu, of the Eight Imperial Ninja, dazzles as the Immortal Electric Man who pulverizes Honma, the bloodthirsty doctor. For Shinoha, he’ll need more than his usual Blade of Darkness to slash Endo, the ruthless surgeon from Hell. Missing from the front line is a certain charismatic yakuza who was once Shinoha’s friend. Could Kiwami be the one behind the scenes, bringing this tragedy to life?
Rage is a superpower.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
