The Demon's Sermon on the Martial Arts is a classic collection of martial arts parables, written by Issai Chozanshi, an eighteenth-century samurai. The stories, which feature demons, insects, birds, cats, and numerous other creatures, may seem whimsical, but they contain essential teachings that offer insight into the fundamental principles of the martial arts. This graphic novel version based on Chozanshi's text brings these tales alive in a captivating and immediately accessible way.
Infused with Chozanshi's deep understanding of Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Shinto, the tales elucidate the nature of conflict, the importance of following one's own nature, yin and yang, the cultivation and transformation of ch'i (life energy), and the attainment of mushin (no-mind). Ultimately, the reader learns in a visually exciting way that the path of the sword is a path of self-knowledge and leads to an understanding of life itself.

"The Thirty Six" is a super-hero take on an actual Kabbalistic legend which says there are thirty six people destined to save the world.

His burden is to carry and wield the Staff of Moses.
Thematically, the story pulls from that old-skool mythology. It's a world of magical realism where golems and Leviathan are real and thirty-six people each have a unique "superpower," like the ability to talk to animals or shooting electricity. The fun of the world is the ambiguity and doubt that these people face in figuring out what exactly their "destiny" is supposed to be.
