This book is, by far, one of the best new comics to come out in a long time. It reminds me of the books I read as a kid. I have always been a fan of McLaughlin and Giordano and this is some of their best work yet. Well written, exciting and the art is terrific! I look forward to it every Tuesday. Would love to see some comments from the creators!

The White Viper is getting better and better. Who is the kid begging to learn "Karate"? I thought Karate was a Japanese form based mostly on training without weapons. I've pictured this as taking place in the Himalayas, where "Karate" might be called something else, "Kung Fu" maybe? Ah, Frank McLaughlin created "Judo Master!" He knows more about martial arts than I ever will. The montage training page certainly looks realistic and credible.
Who is the kid that kissed the White Viper? She's surprised by it. But we don't know if she kisses him back.
And we still haven't found out where all the other villager's daughters have gone. If
And I recognize The White Viper's secret spot from the first episode! Interesting. Does this imply that the rest of the story will take place in this village?
James is right, comments from the creators would be great! What's the point of putting comics on such an interactive medium as the Internet if the creators won't interact! Yeah, the work should speak for itself. But I think the creators are missing an opportunity to generate excitement and enthusiasm for their work. Posting on line is like making a "Virtual Book Signing Appearance" at a comics shop that can theoretically accommodate millions.
