Strain Vol. 05 SC

STRAIN VOL. 5 SC - (Buronson & Ryoichi Ikegami) From the creators of Sanctuary and Fist of the North Star! Framed, nearly executed, 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. The prize: a gigantic oil strike in Borneo - money and power enough, perhaps, to realize the dream of a united Asia. The current owner: the Kusaka corporation. But who will claim it? Kusaka's CEO, the ruthless Shunichiro, has just resigned in favor of Shingo, the 'adopted' black-sheep younger brother whom he long tried to kill. Shunichiro has conceded his great secret - it's Shingo who is the natural son, not him. Blood will tell, but how much more must be spilled? Who will tie the skein of the 'strain?' This graphic novel contains installments from Pulp Volume 4 #9 through Volume 5 #3. 4x6, 216pg, b&w.
