review:
'Cold Blood Samurai Vol. 1' with story by Massimo Rosi and art by Ludovica Ceregatti is a samurai story featuring anthropomorphic reptiles. My first reaction was that I've seen this before. I was pleasantly surprised.
In this story, frogs are the native species and others are the gaijin. A war is started over the death of an important child, and the war is pretty ruthless. A fierce samurai warrior who is a salamander has suffered a great loss. He has learned under an almost mythical teacher. He offers his skills in exchange for the one thing he wants: an honorable death.
I found it a bit hard to get in to this story. By the time the story ended, it made sense, and I enjoyed it. Part of it is that all the characters are reptiles, and the color scheme is similar. Ludovica Ceregatti makes the characters distinctive enough and I really liked the art.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Action Lab Entertainment, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
