A perfect jumping-on point and stand-alone issue for new readers. From the mind of legendary creator Grant Morrison. We take a break from the battlefield to discover how the seeds of this battle between two great families were planted ages ago, when the mighty warriors we see on the battlefield today were mere children. We learn how Arjuna and Duryodhana, tragic rivals in war today, were the best of friends in their youth as they go on a forbidden demon hunt in the forests of the ancients.
