They're a different animal from Yang, but they're lots of fun. I'm sure they'll show up next time I do a Kung Fu Week.<br /><br />Glad you dig the Diversions, SirWintery! You can hang out with Ol' Groove anytime!<br /><br />O Solis, re: new comics compared to old--I agree 1000%!The Groovy Agenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466541479854942040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-29584199871695779772010-01-21T15:36:06.519-05:002010-01-21T15:36:06.519-05:00This is the fun stuff.

While this isn't a fancy or even a great comic, when compared to what passes for comics today, it does have it's plusses. This story is entirely plot driven. We get to know the hero through his actions. The art is direct and entirely at the service of the story. And best of all, it's a complete story in one issue. How many comic books created today do any of the above? Very few it seems.<br /><br />As an aside, I think all comic book readers should take a look at their monthly books and take a hard look at how the stories are paced and layed out. They'd probably be surprised to find out that the six issue story arc they're plunking down good money for could actually be told in one or two issues. Of course, that would mean sacrificing the so called "decompressed" storytelling that is so prevalent today. But, why not. There are good lessons to learn from the past.O Solishttp://www.thestoryboardhouse.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-7324684195990311702010-01-21T15:13:07.278-05:002010-01-21T15:13:07.278-05:00I really like old Yang, first time I've read h...I really like old Yang, first time I've read him.
