Description

Hit writer Ed Brisson (Old Man Logan, Cable) and newcomer Alessandro Micelli present a homage to Takashi Miike films with THE BALLAD OF SANG, the story of a child assassin raised in violence and out for revenge after his master is murdered. When a mistake on a job brings the wrath of Don Minchella down on him, Sang barely escapes with his life. While Sang swears revenge for his fallen mentor, every gang in the city mobilizes to return him to Minchella... dead or alive.

Advance Praise

"It was a fun, brutal thrill ride that saved the best for last as all the high-minded and complex motives for vengeance are boiled down to an explanation that is pure in its innocence and one that a child Sang's age would make." - THE SUPER POWERED FANCAST

Bloody as all heck! But if you enjoy Kill Bill, you’ll love this! It’s fast paced, and Sang , a most tragic but very spirited and intensely lethal child warrior, steals the show and a bit of your heart by the end. I hope to see more of him. Without ever saying a word, he is likely the most clever, witty, utterly crude and sharp tongues mute you will ever come across, to say nothing of his skills with a blade. And his friend Lucy is almost as big a kick. With an entire city of low life’s and mercenaries hunting them down on a massive bounty, you’d thing it would be in no way a fair fight for a kid and hardcore older lady, but I think the odds are stacked so high in their favor it’s barely a match up at all.
