Soldiers have come, sent by governments fearful that another will be the first to benefit from a vaccine harvested from young Daisy Ogami's blood. In the middle of the Pacific, an ambush takes place. But Daisy's protector, the android Itto, is ready with a counterambush . . . The blood spilled will not be Daisy's!
The manga inspired art syle continues, as the western influence is present in the way the environment is drawn.

This creative group has a huge set of shoes to fill. Re-telling one of the most important comic book stories ever told in the history of the genre"that takes a wealth of chutzpa. While I am not familiar with these creators, the story is solid and a good head above the norm and average. I love all of the small nuances and the wind ups to the main sticker-points of philosophy in this issue. While there is a lot here thematically that we have seen before (Children of Men, The Road, The Last of Us"this is kind of a big escort mission story), it is executed with polish and its own particular style. I wish that I had discovered this when its limited run started, but issue #3 was fine for a quick hop-on. And I'll definitely keep my eyes out for this in trade format, where it should be a great read. If you liked Rai and enjoy a bit of Usagi Yojimbo, this should fall within your ballpark.
