LOS ANGELES, CA (February 6, 2018)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at\u00a0RONIN ISLAND #1<\/strong>, kicking off a new five-issue limited series from superstar writer Greg Pak (Firefly, Star Wars, Mech Cadet Yu<\/em>) and fan favorite artist Giannis Milonogiannis (Old City Blues<\/em>) about a group of people with divided loyalties and difficult pasts coming together in the face of danger to fend off enemies both human and not.<\/p>\n

RONIN ISLAND #1<\/strong>\u00a0arrives in stores March 2019 and features a main cover by Milonogiannis, along with variant covers by David Lafuente (Ultimate Comics Spider-Man<\/em>), award-winning artist Ethan Young (Tails<\/em>), and fan favorite Kris Anka (Runaways<\/em>).<\/p>\n

After a mysterious attack devastates a great swath of 19th century Japan, Korea, and China, survivors from all three lands find refuge on a hidden island and build a new society. Hana, the orphaned daughter of Korean farmers, and Kenichi, son of a great samurai leader, have little in common except for a mutual disdain for each other. But these young warriors will have to work together when an army invades the island with shocking news: the Shogun has returned and the Island is expected to pay fealty in exchange for protection from a new threat…a mutated horde that threatens to wipe out all of humanity.<\/p>\n

RONIN ISLAND<\/strong>\u00a0is the latest release from BOOM! Studios\u2019 eponymous imprint, home to a world-class group of licensed comic book series and ambitious original series, including Joss Whedon\u2019s\u00a0Firefly<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Buffy The Vampire Slaye<\/em>r, Lev Grossman\u2019s\u00a0The Magicians<\/em>,\u00a0Mighty Morphin Power Rangers<\/em>,\u00a0Planet of the Apes<\/em>,Abbott<\/em>,\u00a0Mech Cadet Yu<\/em>,\u00a0Grass Kings<\/em>, and\u00a0Klaus<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreg and Giannis have blended iconic elements of the samurai genre with supernatural horror to explore the best and worst instincts of human nature.\u201d said Cameron Chittock, Editor, BOOM! Studios. \u201cThey\u2019ve crafted an ambitious story, filled with stunning action set pieces as our two young heroes grapple with what they believe in the face of an unthinkable war.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
