Awesome. Enjoyed learning about his earlier years, seeing the other monks and the monastery, and learning a bit about their art and religion. Also enjoyed the fight scene and Smorty's Gauntlet.
I wonder if Smorty will ever return to learn Earth, Fire, and Water?
One last word, you can draw the ugliest evil people. Shiver!

Great stuff Emjar, really dig character back stories of this sort - it gave us some decent action entertainment but also greater insight into Smorty himself. Well done :)
The gauntlet certainly lived up to it's name. I'm glad you presented it this way though. This is an action comic book version of what would happen, but it keeps the flavor quite well. I highly recommend a book called "The Wandering Taoist" if you want to read one man's story about this.
I liked the jumping and dodging actually, I thought it made perfect sense for what he was training for! How else would one train to be like the wind? ^_^
He was running an increasingly difficult gauntlet to test his agility. Hence to be as impossible to hit as the wind itself.
If he had of taken one of the other gauntlets for the Fire Earth or Water, he would have had to deal with different obstacles appropriate to that particular element.

All I can think about is "Man, it must be a pain to reset the rooms".

Pretty good, but a lot of the comic was just Smorty jumping around dodging things over and over again.
