1 Samurai: Mystic Cult #1 cover Barry Blair and Patrick McEown
Amazon Jungle: a complaining Simon and Hotachi are tracking those humans who fled here from NYC where Hotachi busted up the vampire slave ring. Simon pestered Hotachi to bring him along but he is sweating now and the bugs are bothering him. The Illuminati, a group of powerful people who try to run the world are linked to this slave ring. Simon tells Hotachi that he watches TV: Simpsons, Batman, Duck Tales, Ninja Turtles...They find a statue of the vampire lord but natives chase them. Hotachi fights them and finds that they are not quite human, slicing up a few. Simon calls Tachi to the waterfall. Some German Nazi shoots at Hotachi who was warned by Simon. The two jump off the waterfall, Simon telling Hotachi he can't swim. Homer and a native boy (who has a bone threw his nose) look at Hotachi and Simon coming out of the river. The boy is Jai. Homer calls Hotachi an excitable little bugger. Hotachi tells him to stop screwin' around and help them out. Heinrich talks to Randolf, now spelled with an "f". Randolf has two native boys (?) or boys of some kind shrunken; he squashes one's head. Homer welcomes Hotachi to Del Oro where a gang of loin cloth wearing kids hang out on their jeep. Jai sticks his tongue out at Simon who is soon hugging Jai. He and Jai go off to explore. A local fuzz named Miquel has been asking Homer to take him upstream to burn out a tribe of local indians so the big companies can use the land to farm on or graze their cows. Heinrich tells Randolf that his man Stein has spotted the indian boy and the Jew (Simon). Randolf figures it is no lossóóthe boy is a proven homosexual. Randolf is doing magic and has found the one he wants: he views Maire Siddons who is entering the enchanted swamp. Cue flashback from DRAGONRING as Marie enters the swamp, blows away a disgusting multi blob organism, loses her gun, fights a lizard soldier dressed like a Nazi, and other ghoul type solders. A wolf man soldier points a gun at her but is eaten by tentacles that rise out of the swamp. Maire sees a Stonehenge type figure and goes to it. She cuts her palm to do some of her own magic. A naked boy (in the original he was totally naked but here appears to have been drawn clothes on) reaches out for her help. He wasn't there a moment ago. Maire hugs him but his face turns into a fanged hideous demon over her shoulder. Randolf shows Heinrich how he intends to control him so he is in charge: from a Bavarian Boarding SchoolóóHeinrich's blond son Hans has been abducted by Randolf, shrunken into the lower part of an hour glass and is totally naked. The top part of the glass is filled with acid. Maire feels the powers of sorcery are strong in this land and she will need a championóóa warrior to carry her flame to victoryóóa Samurai.
