Gold Digger: Edge Guard

    (Radio Comix, 2000)
™ and © Radio Comix

This fantasy series by John Barrett takes place in the mystical world of Jade, where were-cats, fox spirits, vampires and other mythical creatures abound. Here the titular Edge Guard refers to the various teams of creatures who guard Jade from the threat of the Dark Edge Guard. And while that conflict is all very exciting, if smacking somewhat of the Jedi conflicts of the Star Wars universe, our story is just as concerned with the personal relationships among the guard as it is with the larger conflict. There’s Terio, who has apparently deserted his guard, and Tirga, who suspects Terio is flirting with Sheila, whom he loves (but does she return that love?) And we haven’t even gotten to the vampire Riassat, or the spirit-creature Priscilla. There are a lot of characters to keep up with here, but if you have no trouble following a soap opera, you’ll have no trouble keeping pace with the story. Equal parts fantasy and romance novel, it’s good clean Manga fun.
