Lord Shirak, with the power of his ancient gem is the ruler of the known world. All live in fear of this brutal tyrant. It is said that Shirak is indestructible and has lived for over four-hundred years. The people of his kingdom have come to live with the fact that he may never be defeated.
Reaper is the deadliest assassin in all the land. His price is high but his blade is unmatched and worth twice the cost. A mysterious figure for reasons unknown has hired Reaper to assassinate Lord Shirak so that he may rule. Dark Forces are at work here as Reaper becomes a pawn in a game that could very well mean the end of all life, as we know it.

Con la misma forma y fondo de los one-shots nipones del mundillo del manga. Reaper presenta una historia de venganzas y espadazos más vieja que las pesetas. Sin ningún momento de respiro, las poco más de sesenta y pocas páginas son una total sucesión de escenas sanguinolentas en la más pura tradición Kirkmaniana. Los personajes apenas están definidos por un par de detalles de brocha muy gorda, y se intuye un universo de katana y brujería biorgánica que podría ser bastante interesante de explorar.
Lo anteriormente dicho de que esto es lo más parecido a un one-shot en el terreno comiquero USA creo firmemente que es con plena autoconsciencia. No por nada, el estilo puramente amerimanga que imprime Cliff Rathburn se ve apoyado por la decisión de mostrar las viñetas en Blanco y Negro.
Una lecturilla ideal para la horita de sobremesa veraniego.

It's good, not great, but a fun read with a lot of violence. And who doesn't like violence?
