About the series
From 2005 to 2006, DC Comics published Tenryu: The Dragon Cycle, a six-issue miniseries that blends martial arts, fantasy, and the supernatural. The story follows a young swordsman named Tenryu as he embarks on a quest through a mythic version of feudal Japan, wielding a legendary dragon blade against dark forces. Written by Ben Raab, with art by penciller Mike S. Miller and inker Mark Pennington, this compact saga stands out for its cinematic action and rich world-building within DC’s short-lived "Dragon" imprint. It’s a vivid, self-contained adventure that showcases the publisher’s willingness to explore genre storytelling beyond superheroes.
