Dead Samurai #5
Description
Shinzu may have finally found Akii, but safety remains illusive as waves of zombies close in on their fragile camp. While the Emperor's last surviving son fights for his life, Seto's Machiavellian bid to crown himself Japan's supreme leader accelerates, pulling everyone into a deadly crossfire. Dead Samurai #5 blends brutal combat, eerie horror, and political maneuvering into a single, relentless issue. John Dolmayan's brisk storytelling anchors heartbreak and grit, with dynamic art by Ryan Benjamin and Pippa Bowland that renders fast-paced chase sequences and shocking close-ups with kinetic energy. Bill Sienkiewicz provides the main cover, a striking visual counterpoint to the grim events inside, while the series continues to fuse feudal intrigue with modern zombie nightmare. This volume deepens the mythos and tests loyalties in a world where survival depends on more than sword and gun.
