SAINT SEIYA: KNIGHTS OF THE ZODIAC — TIME ODYSSEY #1 PREVIEW
deep blue, shining pearl in sea of stars, the Earth is coveted by the Gods of Olympus themselves. Athena, the goddess of War, has sworn to protect Humanity from the Gods’ appetite. By her side is a group of courageous warriors. These Saints are guardians. They possess legendary powers given by 88 constellations.Their fists can tear the sky apart. Their feet can crack the Earth open. Generation after generation, their feats have forged many myths and legends. Today, Earth is again facing grave danger… …And, just like every time danger looms over the planet, the Goddess has reincarnated into flesh and bone, as human among humans, this time as young lady named Saori Kido. Supporting her in her fight, new generation of young warriors has gone on quest to find the shiny cloths symbolizing their destiny. They are called Athena’s Saints. Hoping to find his older sister, Seiya agreed to go through intense, difficult training at the Sanctuary, in Greece, where Athena’s knighthood started from. Made aware of the power of his Cosmo, the Saints’ energy, he beat all of his opponents, right before the Pope’s eyes… …and won the Bronze Cloth of Pegasus. Inspired by the wisdom of the old master of the Five Ancient Peaks and by the love of Shunrei, Shiryu managed to bend the course of Rozan’s waterfalls in China. This exploit woke up the Bronze Cloth of the Dragon, which he obtained. Thanks to the intervention of his older brother, Ikki, Shun avoided being sent to Death Queen Island for training. Instead, he went to Andromeda Island, which is barely more merciful. Following strict training, he went through the Sacrifice test and came out victorious. As a result, Shun donned the Bronze Cloth of Andromeda, featuring its legendary weapon: the Andromeda Chains! Hyoga can bear the ice-cold climate of Siberia, it’s only because he finds solace and comfort in this place, where his mother’s ship has been trapped in the abyss of the frozen sea. By pure, sheer will and training, Hyoga has been able to break the eternal ice wall and retrieve the Bronze Cloth of Cygnus. After training in all corners of the world, the Bronze Saints gathered in Japan to take part in the Galactic Tournament organized by Saori Kido. This extremely dangerous competition offered the ultimate reward to the winner: the ability to wield the prestigious Sagittarius Golden Cloth. The harsh nature of the tournament forced fighters to draw ever-deeper strength from their Cosmo energy. Rather than divide them, the competition engendered respect and friendship among the Saints… …With one exception: Ikki, Knight of the Phoenix. Trained to draw power from rage and hatred by Guilty on Death Queen Island, Ikki earned his Cloth with blood. He then came back to Japan with the intention of killing all of the Bronze Saints. After merciless fight, Seiya won the tournament over the Phoenix, thanks to the combined powers of the Golden Cloth and the combined Cosmo energy of all his friends and allies. Defeated, Ikki repented for his crimes and remembered the protective big brother he once was… …right before dying. And yet… while Seiya and his friends had to face the Silver Saints, sent to Japan by The Pope, Ikki miraculously came back to life, this time to fight alongside Athena and the Bronze Saints. This unexpected rebirth will soon trigger war against new foe. Japan. Graad Foundation Manor… Perfect! The renovation’s almost over. Soon, it’ll be impossible to find any trace of the attacks launched by the Sanctuary and its infamous leader: the Pope. Pfff! would’ve been done faster with telekinesis! Everything will finally be back to normal. Isn’t that what promised you, Miss Saori? Are you talking to yourself, Mr. Billiard Ball? But where is she now? think she’s in the woods… …at the gazebo by the lake… …where the Pavilion dedicated to the Goddess Athena is. So, this is my destiny… …being the reincarnation of Athena, Goddess and Protector of the Earth. have to defend this planet from the Forces of Evil trying to destroy it, alongside my knights, but… …am really worthy of being the Guardian of all Peace on Earth? Will be up to such destiny? You definitely are, if you ask me! Seiya? What are you doing here? You should be at the hospital, tending to your wounds. My mission is to protect you, not to rest. There's no room for doubt, Saori. At the height of the battle against the Silver Saints, felt the soothing strength of your divine Cosmo energy. It saved my life. You are Athena reincarnated. I’m not just sure, I’d bet my life on it. Thank you very much, Seiya. So, it’s you who is the reincarnation of Athena! ?! We didn’t think we’d find you that easily. Good! We’ll save precious time. You’re going to be able to answer our question, Athena: where on Earth is the Phoenix Saint? Who are you? What do you need Ikki for? Probably nothing too good considering how aggressive their Cosmo energy is. Leave now or you'll taste the power of my fists! How rude! Stigmas! Get this arrogant one out of my face. Right on, my lord! He won’t last long. I’m going to skewer him… …with the tip of my spear! You've been warned! PEGASUS RYÛSEIKEN!

High school freshman Sung-woo lives alone in a big traditional Korean house inherited from his grandfather. He has a great skill to restore objects such as antiques to their original condition. He also has a supernatural ability to see souls, which are sometimes tied to these objects. Trying not to reveal his ability, he secretly helps friends and people around him
Sungwoo’s life is more complicated than ever. His abilities to see the souls of objects and restore them to their original state has led him down a more lucrative and stable path. But the ancient Korean emperor and his vassals who are now occupying Sungwoo’s home have started to regain their power, bringing more work Sunwoo’s way but also constantly distracting him.
His understanding of his powers continues to grow, as well, thanks to some people from his father’s past who have come into his life.

For fans of The Breaker! If you love martial arts fighting and school life drama this is the series for you...
In an imaginary world where Korea is one of the world’s leading nations in martial arts, its government encourages high schools to set up martial art classes to develop talented martial artists. As the government provides numerous benefits to the students of these classes, almost all teenagers dream of being selected for the special classes. Among the martial arts classes all over the country, Namil High School’s Martial Arts Class 3 is the most famous. Jitae’s training doesn’t appear to be as fruitful as his teammates and coaches would like, but once he gets in the ring, it is clear to other fighters that there is something special about him. His struggles don’t end there, as he becomes more intimidated by his new classmates, who all seem bigger, stronger, and more together than himself. But that may not actually be the case, which Jitae learns as part of Maria’s past becomes more clear. A bit of jealousy from another student about Jitae and Maria’s relationship puts the young man in danger…but he’s not the only one. Jitae’s friends and former classmates, OkDong and Jieun, find themselves in a bit of trouble with the school bullies that continues to escalate, no matter how hard they try to fix it. Will this put Jitae and the bullies on a collision course that will make the new fighter finally have to learn how to use his abilities?
