I was literally spellbound and blown away by the incredible detailed artwork and story. Went to my local bookstore to buy a copy of this Manga, because I read about it on the Internet. Being a "Naruto" series fan and a person who does fan artwork, I have to say the artwork of BofWG Vol. 1 is the absolutely most awesome of Manga I have ever read other than Naruto series.Definitely a must read book and hoping to buy Volume 2 of "The Bride of the Water God" at my nearest bookstore.

BRIDE OF THE WATER GOD volume 1 was actually lettered by Andy Grossberg and Studio Cutie, NOT Steve Dutro (who letters SHAMAN WARRIOR -- as well as Dark Horse's BANYA and EDEN titles). The second printing of BRIDE OF THE WATER GOD vol. 1 will fix this error. BRIDE OF THE WATER GOD volume 2 will include several promotional photo pages of creator Mi-Kyung Yun right after her cartoony bonus pages -- those were provided by her Korean publisher. Thanks for checkin it out! -Philip Simon Dark Horse Manhwa Trivia:

I plan on checking out both books. Sounds like they will motivate me to look into Korean mythology also. Rob, Thanks for the information. I plan on checking out both books.

From what I can contextually gather, Korean shamanism and mythology are complex and differ from region to region so it might be difficult to present just one facet of those beliefs without excluding someone else. Case in point, the cosmology of just these two examples (Dokebi Bride, Bride of the Water God) are so divergent that the only easy comparison between them is that they both originate from Korea. Thanks, R. Ed,
