Summary: A fun and wild ride
Review: Okay, I'll admit that I watched the movie before I read the comic book. However, even though "Storm Riders" is one of the most awesome movies I've ever seen, the book, of course, is better. I'm not a big fan of this style of art, but I quickly got used to it. It's definitely not the slick and commercialized sort of art that a lot of the big companies produce. It seems more esoteric, flowing, raw, and especially well suited to the sort of universe presented in "Storm Riders."As a big fan of wuxia/kung fu fiction and movies, I instantly fell in love with the story and the characters. I'm not sure what someone who wasn't familiar with the style would think, but even if you aren't, check it out anyway. The characters are solid, the action is well-depicted, and I was left wishing all of the volumes were available right now in the U.S. Definitely worth it!

Summary: Poor translation
Review: The translation to Storm Riders is terrible. Parts of the book are so bad; you think the translator never took an English class in his life. "Do people really talk like that?" The biggest annoyance of the book is the translator can't decide to use the English translation of the characters name or they're actual Chinese names (i.e. Cloud or Bu-Jing-Yun). And if you think it gets better as you progress through the series, you're wrong.
(...) Another Note: The art is Awesome!
