Summary: Excellent!! Story! Great Characters
Review: Storm Riders 4 is the ongoing adventures of Wind and Cloud, and their relationship to their villainous stepfather Lord Conquer.In this latest issue, Wind is featured more, (which is great for me, since I am a big fan of Wind!), and we learn several secrets about the noble swordsman's past. Driven to excel at martial arts due to his loyalty for Conquer who he views as a father, Wind is nevertheless lonely within the Fighter's association. In this issue, we learn that Wind has secretly been corresponding with a penpal, (a beautiful woman who once saved his life). In these letters, Wind pours out his love for her, and in this issue, they agree to meet. Unfortunately, Trouble, as usual, follows Wind and Cloud. Separated because of an argument, Wind and Cloud, are ambushed separately on the way back from Conquer's keep with disastrous consequences. For fans of Wind, this is a great issue. You learn much more about the gentle swordsman and the inner turmoil he suffers. For those of you who haven't read Stormriders: This is an epic tale of good and evil set in a 'alternative fantasy version' of Imperial China, and follows the Adventures of Wind and Cloud, and the rest of the adopted children of Lord Conquer. A warning: This book is violent, and contains depictions of death, mayhem, and killing, and of course lots and lots of fighting! If you are squeamish, you might not like this book. For everyone else: I highly recommend this for those who like Kung Fu drama or a graphic novel of epic proportions, with many characters and a romantic subplot. Overall, an excellent, thrilling read sure to delight readers.
