So I recently saw a poll that said that a lot of people on this forum read Korean comics as well as manga (and a few read korean comics only). So, I've come here to ask about the only Korean comic that I know and take an interest in: Redmoon by Mina Hwang.

This comic is the basis for an old online game called Redmoon. The first six comics were released and I actually won them through an in-game contest. The comics proved to be very well done, with a good story and ingaging characters. However, since the sixth one came out, I haven't been able to find any more. The site that used to have them, comicsone.com, isn't there anymore, and I've searched for news but I fail to find any.

So, I come here with a basic question (sorry for all of the backstory there): Is this comic even still being made in Korea? It's pretty clear to me that the translations stopped, but did the Korean versions stop too? As far as I know the game is still alive in Korea (though the official American servers died), so I don't see why she wouldn't continue the story.

Anyway, if anyone has any information I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm sorry for bumping this, I really am; I usually never bump posts that don't get any replies. However, I really hope someone knows what happened to this manwha (that's a Korean comic, right?).

There use to be a free download of the first comic on comicsone.com, but since they shut down for some unknown reason...

Ahh, look I found out a little interesting tidbit that I did not know.

In years past, translated Korean comics have been available from Tokyopop, ComicsOne, and Curtis Comic. Mina Hwang’s Redmoon, released partially by ComicsOne, was the first manhwa published for U.S. readers. CPM Manhwa and ADV Manga started releasing manhwa this year. Online distributor Overseas Comics reports Demon Diary, King of Hell, and Priest are its best selling manhwa.



Interesting. I never knew this was the first manwha in the U.S.
