Summary: Another Great Addition to the Series
Review: Stormriders 5 continues the adventures of Wind and Cloud, Lord Conquer's foster sons.In this installment, Wind goes to Lin-Yin cave to learn more about his father's death. He rescues Cloud, who has been imprisoned by Sword Saint, and in exchange, Cloud reveals some pertinent information. A Flame Kylin Beast- a beast none knew existed - killed Wind'sfather. (See issue 1). Hurrying back to the castle, Cloud brashly resumes his affair with Kong-Chi, Frost's wife, unaware that he is seen by Wind. Wind confronts Cloud with an ultimatum. End their affair- or -leave the palace as an exile! Cloud is prepared to do neither, and challenges Wind to a fight to the death! Wing Shing Ma's art is simply lovely. He portrays the kindly Wind and the violent Cloud perfectly. These are characters you both love and hate. This is a Kung Fu book, but the characters display true emotions. Kong-Chi's infidelity and Frost's silent acknowledgement of the betrayal were heart wrenching. Good Work! My only disappointment was that Cloud's violent temper appears to have grown worse. He seems to get crueler by the book which is sad. I hope we learn WHY Cloud has such a terrible temper, and he somehow manages to get it under control. Overall, another excellent read, with some great coloring my Ma' and his team! I recommend this book, highly, although be warned... Like the other books in this series it is quite violent, and might not be appropriate for anyone but mature readers.
