Reviews
"Lai Wan is part detective, part mystic and all fun. A good read."
—Matt McLean,
The Comics Review
"Lai Wan hits the spot."
—Occasional
Superheroine
"Henderson defies convention with his characters. It's not
'Ghost Whisperer' or cutesy girl detective.
It's meaty. It's real...In many
ways, Lai Wan is very reminiscent of those initial 'Hellblazer' issues.
—Joe
Hillard, Pop Thought
"Lai Wan is nicely developed, yet shrouded in
mystery."
—Ain't It Cool News
Excerpt
"Get away from me!"
The grinning ape stopped
for a moment, as if willing to comply with the desparate command. Then, throwing
open its great simian maw, it hurled forth a shrill laughter, tearing at the
woman's mind and spirit. The sound struck her like razored spit, cutting and
humiliating at the same time, leaving her bleeding and shaking and shiveringly
terrified.
"I can't do that, princess," the gorilla-like form told her.
"That would be something like...what would you call it, showing you respect?
What can I say, bitch, except believe me, I didn't come here for anything like
that." As the bent creature advanced on her, dragging itself forward on its
knuckles, the woman wondered;
"Here? Just where in Hell is here..."
For the first time, the collected stories of Lai Wan.
These are the stories that inspired the hit comic book of the same name from
Moonstone Books.
