While the first volume wasn't super fantastic, there was something there that I enjoyed. I felt with some fleshing out the story would've been pretty decent. But with Volume 2, everything sort of went into reverse with an extremely messy storyline, painfully excruciating villains (if you can honestly even call them that), time-jumps that are a bit confusing and jerky, and just a main character with whom you completely lose touch with between the two volumes. The action scenes were strenuous on my eyes with how blurry and jarringly baffling they were at times with their depictions. The dialogue was horribley bad and the only bit o' romance lacked any sort of sufficient chemistry or interaction to truly label it as such.

I also didn't appreciate the fucking ridiculously racist name of the airport in China. I don't know if it was supposed to be some sort of joke, or a mocking of the character who flew into China via the airport, but "Chinggis Khan" is derogatory as fuck and not cool at all.

I wanted to give this comic a chance with its pilot volume. Now that I have, I won't be returning to it, and I don't feel as sorry about that as I originally believed, mainly because I feel like even the author doesn't care anymore. At least the illustrations were alright and somewhat appeasing... sort of.
