Ryan Benjamin, known for his
work with Image Comics, Marvel, DC Comics, Dark Horse, Valiant, and
more, contributes this epic image for Shinobi, the first story in
this installment of Assassin's Creed:
Visionaries!
We're back with a brand new
edition of ASSASSIN'S CREED® VISIONARIES, where top industry
talents bring you new, original visions that expand the vast
universe of ASSASSIN'S CREED®!
In our first tale "SHINOBI,"
writer BRAY DORNBACK and artist RYAN BENJAMIN bring us to the
Shogunate age of Feudal Japan. The target is a rival clan member
and the kill has to be perfect. Failure means certain death and
instant dishonor. A true Shinobi must protect his clan, even at the
cost of his own life, pride, and honor. If his actions reveal his
clan's involvement, Hamato's life will be forfeited to keep the
peace...
Then in "UNCIVIL WAR," writer
CHUCK AUSTEN and artist PATRICK OLLIFFE take us to the American
Civil War, where a newly liberated slave, William Jones, uncovers a
plot to assassinate leaders of the Union, including the President.
Best course of action would be to assassinate the would-be
assassins, but a freed slave killing a white man is treacherous
business... even when it's meant to protect the fate of a fractured
nation.
