Storm Riders, Volume 12

Rating:
Summary: Good!
Review: Storm Rider's volume 12 is the ongoing saga of Bu-Jing-Yun (Cloud), his adopted brother Wind (Nie-Fong), and their struggles against their evil stepfather Lord Conquer.

In this issue Jien Chen and Luo Bu-Jing-Yun go to Sword Worship villa to find ultimate sword. Their quest is thwarted by Sword Greedy, Sword Demon and Lady Au. They duel together in a strange and mystical edifice called 'sword pond,' will Cloud survive the encounter?

This installment of Storm Riders was not as good as previous volumes, primarily because Nie-Fong was absent most of the time and a new character: Jien-Chen was focused on. As someone who is a fan of the original cast (Wind, Cloud and Frost), I found this somewhat disappointing. Nie-Fong is my favorite character!

Even though the plot was a little thin in this issue, Wing Shing Ma's art is beautiful and fun too look and reading issue 12 is important to understand the events in 13.
