Before the fall of the Korean kingdom of Goguryeo , one man roamed the lands leaving nothing but death and destruction in his wake. Using Sa Shin Mu, a rare form of martial arts never seen in this world till now, this man created mass chaos on Snow Mountain wherever he roamed. Peace finally returned to the land and rumors circulated that this unknown warrior was defeated by his own younger brother. This young man was the first and only known warrior to have truly mastered Sa Shin Mu…

20 years after the fall of the Kingdom of Goguryeo , a new legend is spreading that a secret book detailing this legendary martial art has resurfaced. Many are on the search for the guide to the lost art and will stop at nothing to get in their way.

The drawings in NOW were average and didn't lend much to the storyline. There were a few well illustrated scenes but for the most part the story was carried by the dialogue. It is an okay read, but more could have been done to the illustrations to depict the characters' emotions and actions.

The story is a great read, but the action is very drawn out in each of the storylines, and better artwork would have made the immersion into the plot much easier. For martial arts fans this is a great one to follow if you can get over the artwork.
