Lone Wolf

The fate of the human race comes down to a final battle on the coast of Japan! Daisy Ogami holds the key to a cure for a killer virus, but only Itto, her android bodyguard, can protect her from those who would let the plague continue!

The last Kurokuwa ninja has seen through Mamiya Rinzo’s conspiracy to control the shogun with drugs. But while trying to stop the plot, she finds herself being used as a pawn in Rinzo’s final assault on rogue swordsman Togo Shigekata, Togo’s young “cub,” Daigoro-and his own renegade daughter!

MATURE READERS Soldiers have come, sent by governments fearful that another will be the first to benefit from a vaccine harvested from young Daisy Ogami’s blood. In the middle of the Pacific, an ambush takes place. But Daisy’s protector, the android Itto, is ready with a counterambush . . . The blood spilled will not be Daisy’s!

Young Daisy Ogami’s blood carries the cure to the plague that has devastated the world. Itto, Daisy’s android protector, has gone in search of a country that will use the cure fairly. Unfortunately, the remaining world powers all want the cure for themselves-and one has sent soldiers to insure that happens!

A little over a decade ago, Dark Horse published “Lone Wolf 2100,” a reimagining of Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima’s classic “Lone Wolf and Cub” manga. Dark Horse has decided to reboot that futuristic story, but Eric Heisserer and Miguel Sepulveda’s version of “Lone Wolf 2100” unfortunately feels like everything else on the market. RELATED: “Lone Wolf 2100” Puts the World’s Fate in the Hands of a 6-Year-Old Girl Like its predecessor, “Lone Wolf 2100” stars Itto, a robotic protector tasked with bringing Daisy Ogami to a safe place, so that a special virus in her bloodstream can be used to stop a worldwide epidemic. As the epidemic spreads, creating zombie-like victims known as the Thrall, their path is blocked by infectee and Thrall-hunter alike. Heisserer’s biggest change to “Lone Wolf 2100” is shifting Daisy Ogami from a baby (similar to the child in “Lone Wolf and Cub”) to a young girl. It gives Itto someone to talk to and makes Daisy an actual character instead of merely a MacGuffi
