The Path, Volume 2: Blood on Snow

by Ron Marz, Bart Sears

He swore to destroy the gods he once served! The holy monk Obo-san embodied the feudal ideals of piety, honor and duty. Then his samurai brother called upon the gods to save his nation, only to be slain by the petty, spiteful deities. Now, armed with the Weapon of Heaven, Obo-san seeks the death of the gods who betrayed him and the rebirth of his own shattered faith. As merciless invaders advance across the countryside, Obo-san must decide where his true loyalty lies.

[Highland G · Rating 3 out of 5]

While a fun read, we only got about 2 issues of new story. There was a lot of narration and recapping repetition.
