Anyone else check this new manwha out? It was released this week from Dark Horse.
It's pretty damn good... the art is espescially nice, evocative of the works of Takehiko Inoue, Kentaro Miura and Katsuya Terada to weave a story of a man who always delivers, no matter what.
The story is a little overly decompressed in my opinion... I burned through this first volume pretty quickly, and the story ends right in the middle of the plotline which consumes better than half of the book, but it definitely carries the promise of excellence to come.
It's possibly worth mentioning as well that Korean books naturally read from left to right, the same as English books, which might make this a good book to pass on to someone who would normally be turned off by the right to left formatting of Japanese works.
