This special edition was published by Beckett Comics and served as a 22-page preview of the full 96-page graphic novel that followed later that year.

The story, written by Jeff Amano with art by Craig Rousseau and Wayne Faucher, blends the English legend of Robin Hood with the Japanese tale of the 47 Ronin. It reimagines the ronin as outlaws who, while plotting their revenge, aid the oppressed by robbing corrupt officials .
