Horseman

    (Crusade, 1996-1997)
™ and ©1996 Hank Kwan

A close Korean equivalent to the Japanese samurai code of honor was the horseman’s loyalty to the King’s seal of five horses. One of these dedicated martial artists has survived to the 20th century. In the Crusade issue, he recalls a 15t-century threat to his land, a time when he was partnered with his long-lost love, he first encountered a weapon more powerful than the sword, and he first learned to cease all bodily functions for later restoration. The latter is a technique useful as present-day events mirror the past, and the Horseman meets Ana from the Shi title. Hank Kwon writes a decent enough adventure, and it’s a very confident debut from artist Mshindo Kuumba. They continue their good work in the Kevlar issue #0, which is an origin issue for our nameless hero.
