Blade of the Immortal Volume 27: Mist on the Spider's Web Paperback – September 24, 2013

I've been a long fan of BOTM and proud to own all of these books, including "The Art of Blade of the Immortal" illustration book. Hard to believe this series is almost complete but Hiroki Samura has done a wonderful job. This book is a must own like the rest of them.

A great piece! samura's art an storytelling as excellent as ever! This is the final story arc of the manga, actually I don' want it to end

This is the third book in the (See #25 Snowfall at Dawn, and #26 Blizzard reviews on Amazon) "Blade of the Immortal: #27 Mist on the Spider's Web" series by Hiroaki Samura that I have read and reviewed. This on begins where # 26 (Blizzard) ended. The story moves along with Manji and Rin recovering from the previous volume's historic battle. When General Kagimura sends a group of Rokki-dan soldiers after one of the elder leaders, it also puts his daughter's life in danger.When all of the General's Rokki-dan's soldiers have been killed by the strange Pots, (I do not want to give away too much and spoil it for readers) which have been placed all around the forest area by the enemy, the only one left alive to complete the mission is the General's daughter. She is also overcome by the poisoned pots, but has not become totally paralyzed as she sets a trap for the enemy. As with all the Blade series, there is a lot of action in this continuing saga.This volume is organized as follows: Mist on the Spider's Web, The Pots part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4 (where she kills the old man leader of the group). Other sections include: The last ten part 1, part 2, and part 3. There is also a "bonus strip" and a glossary of the terms used in this book.In conclusion, if you are into "The Blade of the Immortal" Series by Hiroaki Samura you may want to check out this #27 in the series.Rating: 4 Stars.

Great Condition

A+++

BotI was one of the first manga series I ever started reading over ten years ago, and I'm still loving it today! Another great volume that is leading us to the conclusion of the series. As always, amazing artwork, moments that had me holding my breath as I turned the page - and dare I even comment on the return of two of my favorite characters whom I'd thought we'd seen the last of volumes ago?? Pre-ordered the next volume and can't wait to get my hands on it!

Can't believe I was able to find this considering Dark Horse Comics aren't printing this series anymore.

I really like where this series is going.Nice complexity of the protagonists and antagonists.I also like the author has indicated that he is ending the series so we know it will not be one of those non-ending series that just run of steam.

As all the others in this brutal series, awesomesome of the best illustration and storyline going in the comic world.

Wonderful!
