and avenge his family! In Taisho-era Japan, Tanjiro Kamado is a
kindhearted boy who makes a living selling charcoal. But his
peaceful life is shattered when a demon slaughters his entire
family. His little sister Nezuko is the only survivor, but she has
been transformed into a demon herself! Tanjiro sets out on a
dangerous journey to find a way to return his sister to normal and
destroy the demon who ruined his life. Despite some comic
misunderstandings that almost blow their cover, Tanjiro, Inosuke
and Zenitsu smoke out Daki, a demon that has been devouring the
residents of the entertainment district for years. The Hashira
Tengen Uzui and his ninja companions engage Daki, but if they
cannot handle her, will Tanjiro and his friends be able to take on
one of Kibutsuji's Upper-Ranked demons by themselves?

First there were three: Octavia, Charlotte, and Rosalyn, a trio of
badass hit-women who picked up the slack when the going got too
real for other so-called top-level assassins. But things happened.
Octavia hung up her semi-automatic for a semi-lucrative kidnapping
insurance scam. Charlotte chose an expensive Chardonnay, love,
marriage and, until recently, a baby carriage. And Rosalyn? There's
a lot of conspiracies, but according to the federal government,
she's simply M.I.A. When a kidnapping hits too close to home,
Octavia is forced out of retirement and back into the
bounty-hunting business. Down two partners, she recruits her son
Dominic and his boyfriend Taylor to aid and abet her in a semester
of murder-based work study, where she'll teach them everything she
knows (if she can get them to put down the video games, stop making
out, and actually focus on the mission already). Can this
dysfunctional modern family pull off the greatest mission in the
history of the ASSASSINISTAS? Collects the complete miniseries,
issues #1-6.
