Ode To 'Okami'

MY FIRST GAMING comic, this one is an ode to one of my current gaming obsessions, 'Okami'. You play Amaterasu, a Japanese wolf godess intent on destroying some demons and restoring peace to the surrounding villages. One of the primary 'weapons' in the game is the clever 'brush' technique. Basically, you can kill your enemies, and do various other tricks, using the strokes of a Japanese calligraphy brush. So what was once a peaceful medium of beautiful art becomes, well, quite a kick-ass weapon, really. Is Japanese calligraphy a Martial Art? I don't know, but it is in 'Okami', and in this comic!
