Hitomi follows a warrior’s epic adventure in October

Writer HS Tak teams up with artist Isabella Mazzanti for the forthcoming historical fiction story, Hitomi. This five-issue miniseries will launch from Image Comics and Syzygy in October.

In Hitomi, a drifter with no prospects in Feudal-era Japan begins training in secret under Yasuke, a now-disgraced former samurai, as she struggles to find her place in a society entrenched in discrimination and violence.

Combining the historical sweep and elegance of Kurosawa with the visceral action of Tarantino, this saga follows the trials and tribulations of a young female warrior who travels the countryside unendingly as she works to gain the rank of Samurai—a title no man, monster, or myth can give to her, but one that she will have to take for herself.

Hitomi #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, October 12:
