On average, Japanese have flatter faces than most other races. Would it be racist to say that an African character was colored too lightly, and thus not in line with the (on average) much darker skin tone of Africans? If you were being ironic, Apodaca, I apologize. If you were serious in your comment, then I would suggest you have a skewed view of what "racism" actually means. Referring to the fact that the different races have differing physical characteristics, in and of itself, is not a prejudicial act. It's just an acknowledgement that some people look different. 'Cause you know, that's what we mean by "race". Some groups of people resemble each other more than they do member of other groups. It’s racist to point out anatomical differences?

The drawing was just not up to standard and the samurai's face was too western, not the more flat face of the Japanese. I was very unhappy with it and threw it away. It looked horrible!

As the hypothetical first-time reader that you mention, I did enjoy it and later bought the whole storyline in trade. The X-Files style "weird investigations" was a great hook and made me want to find out more about Sara and her strange powers.
