Ginseng Roots #8 – Since Craig Thompson started this series, which explores his childhood helping farm ginseng, but also stretches like the fine tendrils of a root, into all sorts of other things, I’ve been impressed with this book. This issue is particularly touching, as Thompson gives it over to Chua, the Hmong farmer we met in the last issue, and his story. Last time, we saw how Chua’s childhood contrasted with Craig’s, and now we see what adulthood has been like for him, as he followed his father into the industry. Chua’s father passed about five years ago, and the loss has been huge for Chua and the local Hmong community. Parallel to this is the continued shrinking of ginseng in the region, as farming it becomes ever more difficult and expensive at the same time that it becomes ever harder to find people willing to put in the long hard hours the root requires. There’s an elegiac quality to this whole series, but especially to this i
What They Say:
After a hellish journey on the road to vengeance, Ketsuko is now within a blade’s length of ending those who brought about her clan’s demise. But a shocking twist unmasks not only the Red Bride, but her true enemy!
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers):
The Devil’s Red Bride has been a really good book over the course of the first three issues and this one builds on all that came before very well. Sebastian Girner takes us further down Ketsuko’s path and gives us a twist, one many likely saw coming, and provides her with another kind of challenge to deal with. The scripting continues to be engaging and the dialogue works really well. John Bivens designs have been great throughout this series and that doesn’t let up here at all, whether it’s dealing with flashback material or a new dose of the supernatural that has made its way into events, twisting and distorting things dangerously.
What They Say:
Barely surviving the onslaught of the dread ninja, the battered party of Ronin take refuge in an old mountain temple. As Ketsuko learns more about Fubei’s past, she ponders her own bloody choices. But the temple is not as abandoned as it seemed, and Ketsuko is not the only one who struck a deal with a devil…
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers):
As the journey continues, we get an installment that fleshes out our cast a bit more and a good action sequence that works beautifully. But it fits into that slotted predictable mode for a third issue of a series like this so there are no surprises. Sebastian Girner delivers a solid story for this with good character exploration and some background coming to the surface that fits and flows well. John Bivens puts it all to page with striking detail and excellent flow both in the panel layout and the way the action is handled as well as the quieter dialogue scenes. Which, in turn, l
