Color by Jordie Bellaire. In the ancient Nameless City, Kaidu, son of a Dao (the latest army to take the City), and a native City girl named Rat form an unlikely friendship. As trust builds during an uneasy time of peace, each tries to see life through the other's eyes. Action-packed graphic-novel illustrations lavishly build the Asian-inspired setting, but depictions of the main characters aren't always visually consistent.
