COLLECTOR’S PARADISE AND OWEN WISEMAN CELEBRATES THE FINALE OF SAMURAI’S BLOOD

 

SAMURAI’S BLOOD, written by Owen Wiseman, illustrated by Nam Kim and featuring covers from Jo Chen, is an epic historical drama that’s been a hit with both fans and critics alike. The miniseries comes to a close with issue #6 and Collector’s Paradise is proud to announce that writer Owen Wiseman will be on hand November 30th, starting at 5:00 P.M., to sign copies.

 

Produced by Benaroya Publishing and published by Image Comics, SAMURAI’S BLOOD deals with three teenagers who must make their way through the world hiding their identities in order to find their destinies. As their village burns behind them, they are headed for a city they’d heard about only in stories. The three young samurai must now struggle to stay alive and take vengeance on the evil usurper who has destroyed the rest of their clan and the only world they’d ever known. Will they rise on the tides of vengeance, or they will they fall on the swords of fate?

 

Here are what some critics have had to say about Samurai’s Blood:

"I’ll be picking up the 6-issue run of Samurai’s Blood...I’d suggest you do the same." - IGN

"Samurai’s Blood is just another example of all the great stuff Image Comics is putting together this year...I recommend the entire series." - Comic Book Bin

“One of the best things about Samurai's Blood is its strong period feel, which is carried in particular by Nam Kim's idealized yet realistic art and Jo Chen's more expressionistic covers." - Playback STL

"Once again (and unbelievably, I might add), Wiseman has upped the stakes with this story... I can’t honestly understand how this book keeps getting better every issue, but somehow it does. 5 out of 5" - Comic Attack

The SAMURAI’S BLOOD autograph event will take place in Canoga Park at Collector’s Paradise on November 30th, 2011 from 5-7 P.M. at 7131 Winnetka Ave., Winnetka, CA 91306. For more information, please visit www.ComicsAndCards.net or call (818) 999-9455

ABOUT COLLECTOR’S PARADISE

Collector’s Paradise Comics & Gallery has been a mainstay in the Southern California Comic Book scene since 1994. In recent years, the store has focused on offering their customers an exceptional experience that goes beyond collecting comic books, from creator appearances, to proprietary online subscription manager software, and an Art Gallery.

ABOUT OWEN WISEMAN

Owen Wiseman writes graphic novels, screenplays, and prose. Owen was raised by hippies in the Pacific Northwest, and fed a steady diet of appropriate books and inappropriate movies. In seventh grade, he was accidentally put into a Japanese class, and the venerable Furado-sensei convinced him to stay. He taught Owen about the language, culture, and fascinating history of this complex and beautiful island nation, and Furado-sensei’s passion for the Japanese culture triggered Owen’s love for it as well.
