Issue 6: High Tide
28 comics.
This fight has some of my favorite Black Rose pages to date. I love the steely pirate expressions contrasted with Trellis’ sad look, the alternating between silence and screams — and above all, the rain. Brandon Peat Letterer
Considering that Arion fought off a more formidable threat involving multiple guardsmen back in issue 4, it’s a bit unsettling to see the lone Chimoku counter his attacks with ease. Aaron Minier Artist
