Overall, I'd say 18 Days is starting off extremely well. Issue one serves as a good starting point to anyone's research in Eastern philosophy. If not for that, it's all in all a really great story, being retold in a fun and interesting way. Morrison and Kang work so much in sync; this is one of the best books I've come across in a while, with a fantastic story and breathtaking artwork. For your own good, be sure to pick this up!

A fresh look at an ancient story, this first issues is essentially showing us the two sides of a forthcoming mythical battle as they stair at each other across the battlefield. I'd give the writing a 4, the art a 6, but when you factor in the price, then the book gets a considerable boost due to value delivered. Includes the first part of an interview with Morrison about the mythology of India (Gita, etc), and I can say - with some small authority in this field - that his knowledge is substantial and his work is very well-researched and referenced.
