Samurai Jack #5 came out this week, wrapping up our first story arc ‘The Threads of Time”. What did critics think of it? Read on and find out…

• Eat Your Comics: “Issue #5 gets four stars, the new series gets five stars. Welcome back Jack!”

• Stash My Comics: “Fans of the show should already know how good this comic is and, if not, they’re missing out.”

• The Outhousers: “Jim Zub’s terse narration, injected with sparse dialogue, allows Andy Suriano’s art to take center stage. “

• Comic Book Therapy: “Samurai Jack brings things full circle and tells a really fitting story for the fan-favorite character.”

• Nerds on the Rocks: “This is one of those rare issues where you could remove every word from it and the art would tell the story with clarity.”

• Rock! Shock! Pop!: “Zub and Suriano have done a great job bringing Cartoon Network’s coolest sword swinger back to the printed page with the give issues that make up The Threads Of Time.”

• Geeked Out Nation: “Even against the insurmountable odds, Jack is able to portray the hero that every story involving samurai needs.”

• Shadowhawk’s Shade: 9/10 “All the things that I wanted from this issue, I got, because Jim understands the setting and the characters, and because the artists are just so damn good in every possible way.”

Arriving in May, the new issue and our 1st Samurai Jack collected edition. Pre-order now!
