This thrilling, new ongoing series will be published by Image Comics and launch this September.

Knights vs. Samurai follows the journey of Sir Charles Ward (known as ‘The Dragon Butcher’), who is a knight grappling with self-doubt and grief while leading a legion of royal warriors on a noble mission. Celebrated for his knighthood and leadership, The Dragon Butcher embarks on a quest to a mysterious island in the Far East.

Accompanied by a diverse group of fighters—including a giant and two clerics—he seeks vengeance against the savage monsters responsible for ambushing a group of English missionaries.

Under the guidance of the great Todd McFarlane, I have been partnered with the incredible Federico Mele who has manifested a magnificent, brutal and beautiful world of broadswords, katana, dragons, and more!”
