Wow, I have to highly recommend Boxers and Saints (the pair - it's kind of hard to have them apart). It made me want to know more about the Boxer rebellion, first of all. But it is also ultimately the story of so many other countries - the endless tumble of right and wrong in the midst of civil unrest. Of course the art is great, too, so it is really the complete package.
