    Kabuki from Davi Mack...especially "Circle of Blood" or "Masks of the Noh", since the others are less martial and more psychology oriented (well, from the middle to the end of metamorphosis it gest quite nice, there's even some savate in it!!)...and you just can't beat the artworks and incredible levels of complexity in the storyline...the guy's a genius, with too many gimmicks, but still...

    As for the rest, I like any Wu Xia Pian with people flying or wielding impossible weapons like it was feather light...
    Romance of the 3 Kingdoms was great too, and Outlaws of the Marsh.

    Mutant W, I know the guy you're talking about...nice pieces indeed...grrr, his name ludes me too at the moment, it's Van something...

    IronFist was my hero for some time... the way he'd concentrate his ki until his fist started glowing.... that's some good stuff !

    Musashi rules.

    Lone Wolf and Cub rules.

    And Fist of the North Star.

    AHHH. Who can forget the Fist of the Northstar.? Especially with Showtime still running the cartoons. Man, I even enjoyed that live action version with Gary Daniels. But then how could I not? Still wish they'd worked out some way to do the walking through a building as it falls on your head.

    Cool Martial Arts Fiction

    Is there any martial arts fiction (written, not those supa-cewl Shaw Brothers flix) being published these days?

    Side note: There any translated copies of the dime-a-dozen martial novels that went around China, etc? I think it'd be interesting to read of the cowboyish martial exploits of MA characectures (sp).

    Indeed, it's late.

    if you like those kungfu comics, see the source @ comicsone.com, there's one I like called Saint Legend, where the 8 taoist gods are a super hero team.

    if you're looking for novels, look up Louis Cha on amazon.com, he wrote the story for the Swordsman movie trilogy and a couple of the comics in the above site.

    Roger Zelazny edited a book called, "Warriors of Blood and Dream". It leans toward sci-fi martial arts, but some of the short stories were pretty straight-forward fiction too.
    Keep it simple, stupid.

    I've written a 375 page book entitled Evolution Fist: Revelations from the hidden garden.

    You can't believe how hard it is to find an agent, let alone a publisher. Not given up though and working on a more main stream book that may help my breaking into the industry.

    There is a great book, something or other Tao. Or Tao this or that. I forgot it. Will post it tomorrow. Pretty good.

    Go sing it on the mountain, brother. My first book was marginally successful. Having a heck of time selling No. 2. I fired my agent last month, so right now I'm trying to figure out if I can sell it without one.

    Chronicles of Tao is the book I was speaking of. Better than Iron and Silk.
