In a time of myth and magic, there lies the mysterious central land of Oukoku. Surrounded by the Lands of Four Winds, Oukoku is a country in a state of constant turmoil and senseless battle. As a result, the rulers of the Lands of the Four Winds, known as Phantom Saints, have been given the grueling task of keeping peace and order in their individual territories.

Dark Yokuo is ruler of the Land of the South Wind, the Phantom Saint of the Red Phoenix. At his side is his trusted fairy spirit, Kyo. Over the years, Kyo has long served as counsel and protector to each and every Phantom Saint of the Red Phoenix. However, she finds Dark the most hotheaded and stubborn Saint yet. Will Dark be able to control his temper in order to bring a peaceful conclusion to the conflict within his neighboring lands?

Artist Kia Asamiya breaks new ground with this revolutionary publication. For starters, Dark Angel: Phoenix Resurrection is the first Japanese manga published in color in the United States in over 10 years. Additionally, it is the first manga ever drawn by a Japanese artist specifically for an American publisher (in this case, Image Comics). The book was created on U.S. size comic book pages in an American drawing style—from left to right, so the art will not need to be flopped. It is truly a first in every sense of the word.
