Strain Vol. 04 SC

STRAIN VOL. 4 SC - B&W. (Buronson/Ikegami) Framed and exiled to Malaysia's slums, Japanese assassin Shingo Kusaka joins a group of outcasts in the fight against his elder brother Shunichiro, a power-hungry aristocrat, and the monolithic Chinese Sai crime family. When Shimei Sai makes a hostile takeover of Kusaka Corp., Shunichiro's response is to hire the best assassin in Malaysia...Shingo Kusaka, the very brother he once tried to kill. With this reconciliation of convenience, the siblings go up against the Sai family in a bloody attempted coup. Will Rei Fai, Shimei's mistress, be their ally or enemy? Will Gensuke Jin, Shingo's grandfather, lend his power and influence to their cause? And what about cross-dressing killer ''Sweetie'' Andre? It all comes down to an underground room where Shion and Shunichiro face one another, revolvers in hand... Contains the Strain installments from Pulp Vol. 3 #12 to Vol. 4 #7. 224 pp. MR.
