Some highlights from the fascinating Snowpavillion website. Xueting Ni is
an academic and expert on Chinese culture, and she loved White Crane! Read the whole review HERE. "It really struck a cord with me."
"Simply stunning." "A rare find." "The artwork is very reminiscent of where comic art became a grown up thing; somewhere between late Miller-era Daredevil, and Mike Dringenberg’s run on The Sandman." "Badass oneliners and a certain foulmouthedness, give the piece an almost Tarentinoesque feel." "The author knows his Wu Dang Fist from his Yong Chun Kicks." |

Gary Williams at FILM FAN DOJO has also taken a shine to White Crane, kindly giving it to all manner of of professionals working in the Honk Kong kung fu film industry. Very simply, here's what he had to say:
"I love this book!"

The first review White Crane ever had was from the excellent review site The Lottery Party. Unfortunately, the website is now defunct and I don't have a copy of the review. But one quote sticks in my mind...
"The script is bitingly sharp and will appeal
to anyone not too shy to stomach the work of someone like Garth Ennis – one to watch." |
