Samurai: heaven and earth

i have just seen some of the dark horse promotional material for this samurai title, and i have become a little moist.

samurai style makes me happy, as do all the samurai cliches; a strong honor code, swords, stoicism, top knots.
the artwork for this looks cool, and the idea of setting it in france seems like a novel one to me.

is anyone reading this at the moment?
should i be geting ready to run round all the shops gathering issues 1-4 before they dissappear?

I'm actually reading this, and to be honest I'm not that big on the whole samurai thing, but I'm enjoying it very much. There are some interesting guest appearances in #3 that were quite unexpected. (Until you see the cover that is). I'd say the book is worth it for the art alone. I had to be convinced to buy it, and I'm glad I eventually did. #1 was hard to get (I bought after #2 was out, so I had to get the reprint with the new cover. If you can still get a copy of the original #1, grab it my friend, grab it.
