Okko: The Cycle of Air #4

by Hub with Emmanuel Michalak

There aren't many comics out there like Okko.  It's a Medieval Japanese comic told in a French style, with plenty of busy small panels, and unpredictable events.

This issue, which wraps up the third series, or cycle, deals with the final confrontation between Okko, his friends, and Kubban Kiritsu, the monster hunter who almost murdered Okko a couple issues back.

The fight scenes are very frenetic and visually interesting, if sometimes hard to follow.  Hub's artwork is gorgeous, but I did find a few pages to be overly detailed and difficult.
