Todd is back with issue 9 of Tokyo Blade Detective. At the end of Vol.2., Todd revealed that there was someone killing people in Tokyo without the use of a laser sword. It's bloody. It's violent. Just as important, though, it's something that the people haven't seen in a while. These "acts and displays" are getting the attention of key people in Tokyo, which leads Miko and Michio to get hired to take them down. Issue #9 sets up the story and shows a more detective-style approach to things that we've only touched upon lightly in the first two arcs. History has a way of repeating itself in this story, and I think you'll enjoy the tales that are told within. You can back the issue 9 campaign on Kickstarter now! Use this link to grab your copy!

NPR described the novel as “masterful,” and it received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, and Booklist. Secret Identity was also listed as one of the Best Mysteries of the Year by NPR, Kirkus, Booklist, the South Florida Sun Sentinel and more, and was nominated for the Anthony Award for Best Hardcover, the Lefty and Barry Awards for Best Novel, the Macavity Award for Best Mystery Novel, and won the LA Times Book Prize in the Mystery/Thriller category. His next novel, the YA Spider-Verse adventure Araña/Spider-Man 2099: Dark Tomorrow is out now from Disney Books/Marvel Press. A new era for the iconic detective starts here, from bestselling and acclaimed authors Alex Segura and Michael Moreci, as an all-new, noir-infused chapter in the Dick Tracy legacy kicks off with superstar artist Geraldo Borges. In the aftermath of World War II, the country stands frozen–waiting for the next shoe to drop. In The City, a brutal murder draws the attention of rising star detective Dick Tracy, who soon discovers the bloodshed is just the beginning of a complicated web that threatens to ensnare everything he cares about. Blending the classic elements of the Dick Tracy world (including his iconic villains, supporting cast, and unforgettable watch radio) with a hardboiled and realistic take, DICK TRACY #1 kicks off a fresh and modern take on the iconic detective that remains true to his rich history.
