Media Release -- Scar Comics and the creators behind Madam Samurai are delighted to announce that Volume One took the Best Digital Comic prize at the May 2011 LA New Media Film Festival, an event described as "Sundance for the Facebook generation".
Work on Madam Samurai: Volume Two is progressing well, and Scar Comics plan to launch the book on August 27th at the new Birmingham Comiccon 2011 BC. The action-packed sequel concludes the story of a female samurai warrior who travels to Victorian London on a mission of vengeance.
Fans will be pleased to hear that the original creative team are reunited, with Empire award-winning screenwriter Gary Young (known for Michael Caine thriller Harry Brown) and Eagle award-winning artist David Hitchcock (Springheeled Jack) working together to complete the Madam Samurai origin story in style.
Madam Samurai: Volume One received highly complimentary reviews from websites and publications such as Ain't It Cool News, 2000 AD, The Judge Dredd Megazine, Tripwire, Geek Syndicate, Zedura Magazine, Geeks Of Doom, scifipulse.net and Comics Legend Dez Skinn
Ain't It Cool News said of Volume One; "This is a very cool origin story by writer Gary Young… a story of a badass samurai vixen and there are copious amounts of action and blood. I can't wait to see her enact some swift samurai vengeance in future volumes. Highly recommended."
Geek Syndicate said; "Madam Samurai is so stunningly drawn that it convinced me to break my resolution to complete one circuit of the Bristol Comics expo floor before opening my wallet."
