"Wei Wuxian was once one of the most outstanding men of his generation, a talented and clever young cultivator who harnessed martial arts, knowledge, and spirituality into powerful abilities. But when the horrors of war led him to seek a new power through demonic cultivation, the world's respect for his skills turned to fear, and his eventual death was celebrated throughout the land. Years later, he awakens in the body of an aggrieved young man who sacrifices his soul so that Wei Wuxian can exact revenge on his behalf. Though granted a second life, Wei Wuxian is not free from his first, nor the mysteries that appear before him now. Yet this time, he'll face it all with the righteous and esteemed Lan Wangji at his side, anothe...r powerful cultivator whose unwavering dedication and shared memories of their past will help shine a light on the dark truths that surround them."--Back cover.

Review by Booklist Review

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi is a global phenomenon, now available in manhua or full-color comic form. The story focuses on Wei Wuxian, a demonic cultivator who died in a tumultuous battle; his trials after being summoned back to life to enact revenge for another young man; and his entanglement, particularly with fellow cultivator Lan Wangji. This entanglement is the driving force of this series, although the first volume only alludes to it. This is a story that moves lightning-fast and has quite a lot going on, with zombies, a rich and complex world, and a complicated system to understand. As an entry to this emerging genre, this manhua is probably the best option. The illustrations are beautiful, and the glossary in the back is helpful but not overwhelming. The translation work is superb, as the Mo Xiang Tong Xiu novels and surrounding media can be dense and complex, and conveying the meaning behind certain concepts can be even harder in the confined space of a graphic adaptation.
