Mega Dragon and Tiger, Vol. 1

Rating:
Summary: Really good, but the editing and translation is lacking
Review: I first became aware of this excellent series through Image Comics, so I was quite estatic when I heard that Comics One had licensed it after Image dropped the series. However, in contrast to the accurate translations and vivid colours of the Image edition, Comic One's version is disappointingly washed out, the transltion is awkward and stiff and the general effect is one of shabbiness.

However readers should not let these flaws prevent them from picking up one of the most exciting comic book series I have ever read. This is not for anyone particularly interested in story. Instead it seems to be aimed at anyone who has ever complained that there was too much talking and not enough action in comics nowadays. The action is fast, frequent, over-the-top and superbly drawn. In addition to this, the main character Tiger Yin a remarkably likeable and sympathetic character, which makes supporting him in his battles all the more worthwhile.
Mega Dragon & Tiger is a great introduction to the world of Hong Kong comics.
