Description
Award-winning creator Chang Sheng's supernatural sci-fi thriller explodes as vengeance, time-bending powers, and buried secrets collide in a deadly fashion.
From the mind of Golden Comic Award laureate Chang Sheng comes the next searing chapter in his supernatural sci-fi epic. A standout series from the burgeoning Taiwanese manhua scene, YAN is a must-have for collectors, complete with stunning French flaps and breathtaking art.
The narrative plunges deeper into the complexities of vengeance, identity, and the paranormal. Tieh Hua's journey grows ever more perilous as she uncovers buried truths about her family's massacre and the broader conspiracies that entangle her fate.
As shifting alliances blur the line between friend and foe - especially with a mysterious time-traveller whose motives remain unclear - Detective Lei is pulled into a maelstrom of spectral phenomena and moral ambiguity. With the fabric of life and death fraying, both heroes are forced to confront terrifying truths that could reshape reality itself.
Chang Sheng masterfully intertwines elements of science fiction, horror, and Taiwanese cultural motifs with cinematic flair, delivering a visually arresting, emotionally charged installment that pushes the series into uncharted territories.
