Story by Comic Book author Stan Lee

I read the first chapter. Pretty interesting, I'd say. It's up on OneManga for those of you who are interested.

I only learned about it when checking out the NY Comic Con's main site, and only finished reading now.

If it wins at something, it definitely wins for most retarded attack names.

"Lion Punch"?
"Turtle-Headed Blade"?
"Crane Sword"?
"Demon Drum"?

The concept is pretty neat, but could have been done way better without seeming like a corny piece of cliche bullcrap.

I completely agree with you there. I don't even know what Stan Lee was thinking when he made up those names :/

I'll still keep track with it though, just because the concept seems interesting enough. Plus, I want to see how far Stan's genius can get when it comes to a non-American comic.

Same here. The concept is far too interesting to judge on the first chapter alone. However, as for the series overall, I have little hope for it.
