I got this at the Toronto Comicon earlier this
summer. It's a black and white comic with a black
ninja dude fighting zombies. He meets up with a
hermit who he revealed as a ninja master. The
master takes him as a student. We get introduced
to Yang Lei Kung, learn of his story. The master
tells us about some mystical stuff and has a
quest to get the Master a new body. His original
body was burned and he's now inside the body of a
zombie. I found the dialogue to be natural, the
story tries to end on a what looks like a
cliffhanger, but it's not one.
The art is stylistic and unique. The story flows
smoothly, but Kagan does use some different
layouts that can throw off some readers. I think
the inking can be improved a bit as despite the
use of thick and thin lines, things tend to mesh
too closely.
Also interesting is the back page where Kagan
reviews a bunch of non-Bruce lee kung fu movies.
He tells us which actors were better and worse and
gives ratings to six movies. This in itself really
gets you into the whole Kung-Fu aspect of the
comic, it's clear Kagan has a strong love for this
stuff and it really shows.
I give the comic a 3.5 out of 5. If you are
looking for something different, give this a try.
