Shaman Warrior (Dark Horse)

Dark Horse is starting a new manhwa imprint. One of the first title to debut under this imprint is Shaman Warrior. I can't wait to see how this measure up to Blade of the Immortal and it looks like it's gonna be a solid title.

Presented in the original Korean format, Shaman Warrior is a dramatic fantasy series with a kinetic style that will appeal to fans of Blade of the Immortal and Vagabond! From the desert wastelands emerge two mysterious warriors, master wizard Yarong and his faithful servant Batu. On a grave mission from their king, they have yet to realize the whirlwind of political movements and secret plots which will soon engulf them and change their lives forever. When Yarong is mortally injured, Batu must fulfill a secret promise to leave Yarong's side and protect his master's child. As Batu seeks to find and hide the infant, Yarong reveals another secret to those who have tracked him down to finish him off--the deadly, hidden power of a Shaman Warrior! Translated by the mother/son team of Anna Kirk and Derek Kirk Kim.

• One of the top five bestselling manwha of all time!

• Often compared to Blade of the Immortal in scope.

Blade of the Immortal Art


Blade of the Immortal by Hiraoki Samura

Takehiko Inoue's Tool of Trade


The image above is a style that Takehiko Inoue experiment with. The first pic is a striking image off Kojiro that really stands out with all the bold lines that is use and swift stroke of the brush. What's interesting is that Inoue uses a hairband to wrap around his G-pen for tighter grip (as seen on the second image).

Preoccupied with a single tree...you won't see the entire forest
Don't be preoccupied with a single spot.
