I've got the two German Comics that have been published to date and I can say they are pretty good; they mix mystery, fantasy and feudal Japan in a very interesting way.

And the drawings, including several action scenes as well as landscape or architecture, are definetly breathtaking.

A little hook, though: It is an ongoing story and it took about nine month for the second issue to be released in Germany...now I'm waiting for the third for four months already....

But then again I'm used to waiting...

Hello UYDers,

I picked it up on Thursday. I liked it and will pick up the next issue despite the $6.00 cost.

The art to me is similar to Frank Quitely work. I like it a lot. The story has a samuri protecting a Korean family, in particular a girl. Good verse evil and all that stuff.

I recommend it. Peace, maka
