Blood, death, and fire—the darkest kind of magic. A monstrous secret from King Tiger’s past has found the mystic warrior, but can Tiger’s skills and sorcery triumph against an unthinkable supernatural obscenity linked to his own destiny? If the Tiger falls, the Dragon will rise!

The first issue of Dark Horse Comics‘ King Tiger combines a fast paced story, with back story, magic, and action. Combining the world of the west and the mythology of the east in a beautiful tapestry.

Written by Randy Stradley, the story has a quick pace, and flows well. With its rapid pace, it makes for a quick read. Even if you are unfamiliar with the characters or the backstory of them, you can still enjoy it. That defiantly aids to the overall story, well.

Even the artwork by Doug Wheatley flows wonderfully between panels. While the cover are has an overall brightness to it, the world contained between the pages is less colorful. The characters contrast against the world they are drawn in.

The combination of this makes this perfect balance. Honestly if you enjoy modern fantasy, I would recommend it.
