Vault Comics released the first issue of Sebastian Girner and John Bivens’s bloody samurai series, “The Devil’s Red Bride,” to very positive reviews last month: Comics Bookcase called the book, which is inspired by the oft-overlooked history of Japan’s female warriors, “a clear and compelling read,” while Graphic Policy said it was a “stylish book that feels respectful of the material.” We are pleased to present an exclusive preview of the second issue, out this week.
