With brilliant artwork and a masterful story, we get something that is truly special. This is the beginning of the story of Miyamoto Musashi, based off of the epic novel Musashi, which I have also read. Unfortunately, I don't know if Vagabond is completed or not. I don't think it is since it doesn't have his duel with Sasaki Kojiro yet, so here I sit waiting. Oh well. Maybe the artist died or something. Who really knows? no reviews | add a review

Shinmen Takezo is destined to become the legendary sword-saint, Miyamoto Musashi--perhaps the most renowned samurai of all time. For now, Takezo is a cold-hearted killer, who will take on anyone in mortal combat to make a name for himself. This is the journey of a wild young brute who strives to reach enlightenment by way of the sword--fighting on the edge of death. No library descriptions found. |

The art is good, but the tone is a bit jarring and characters seem to bounce around all over the place. Not sold on it at the moment and not sure where the plot is, but it's quite readable. I'll keep at it for now and see where it goes. ( )
