After coming to the aid of a young noble named Merielle, Haruka finds himself with a free pass to leave and enter the city at his own discretion! What's the first thing on his mind? Running back to the woods so he can resume his loner life, of course!

But before he can abandon his friends, he has a small matter to attend to... Just where are the nerds? And, come to think of it... Where are those meatheaded jocks? Curious as to the fates of his classmates, Haruka delves into the depths of the forest to hunt them down... But what he finds chills him to the bone.

Now faced with a fearsome new enemy, one who savagely employs facts and logic to seize victory, our loner hero must push himself to the limit and make the greatest gambit of all!

"Blaze Brothers is a hard-hitting, non-apologetic, multi-layered saga filled with tragedy, love, betrayal and redemption, infused within this action-packed, martial-arts-influenced story are very unique multicultural characters who possess the kind of great witty dialogue one would find from the likes of Mark Millar, Quentin Tarantino and Elmore Leonard."

"IDW's Blaze Brothers Is Soaked With Blood, Adrenaline And Fun... The Writing Is Loaded With Gems!" (Bleeding Cool)

"What if Tarantino made a comic book? That's what it feels like when you hit the first page of this collection. You've got the titular heroes' rocking threads making them colder than ice, with the attitude to match, the first scene (in a church) is delightfully irreverent, and there are times you can almost feel blood dripping off the page." (Fan Boy Comics)

"All fans of great storytelling will appreciate Blaze Brothers... Multicultural and with a global setting." (Vibe Magazine)

"The artwork continues to be nothing short of awesome, better than a lot of artwork you would see from Marvel to be completely honest.... Good story telling pays off, and trust me when I say this is good story telling." (ComicBooked)
