Description
Years of war and famine and have plunged Joseon into chaos. The young Prince Yi Moon, having lost all his bodyguards to an assassination attempt, has no choice but to turn to the mountain bandit Jae-ha for help. But as the unlikely pair race to find safety in a world gone mad, it becomes horrifyingly clear that humans aren’t the only thing they must fear!
In a bonus story, a secluded island becomes a private battlefield as the notorious Japanese criminal Juu and the infamous Korean felon Han face off against each other. But they aren’t the only ones on the island…

Seeing the original conception behind the hit Netflix tv series show does give us an insight of the Living Zombie Curse.
I loved the Bandit, and how he was a former general as of such. And he had to go on a quest to save Yi Woon, the Prince.
Some parts of the ARC were blurred.
I also felt that the Doctor was a great character, and her personality and her viewpoint was more than enough to complement the reader. I would have wanted a more colourful art style.
Kudos to adding the Loa! So does that mean we'll get to see more of the spirits of evil working together? This had a Nioh Vibe to this so much.
I really enjoyed this story, and good luck to Yi Woon for cleansing the country of evil.
It is after all, true that the evil spirits do not exist today. And why? Because our ancestors got rid of it so we could live in peace.

The plot and storyline for 'Kingdom' were very gripping. And the artwork was excellent. I was riveted all the way through and was disappointed to find out that it ended with the 4 chapters. I know that is has been adapted into a show on Netflix, so I will be checking that out next to see how the story continues after the end of the manga.
The other story, Burning Hell, wasn't as interesting but was entertaining. It has some promise for further stores but, like Kingdom, I don't think there were ever any other chapters done after these.

I really enjoyed this, I like the story and the art style. I'm wanting to get a copy for myself once it releases. It was very interesting and kept me reading. I would definitely recommend this.
