The beloved immigrant led Kung-Fu Noir graphic novel series makes a triumphant return right on time for the Chinese Year of the Dragon, with a new, compact-sized monster edition that concludes the epic SPIRITS OF WUXING Saga.
In the vast tapestry of Chinese Cosmology, the universe harmonizes through five elemental forces: Fire, Water, Earth, Wood, and Metal. At the dawn of Time, these Elements chose their champions—the Spirits of WuXing. For centuries, these ethereal guardians defended the planet and maintained the delicate balance of the elements.
However, in 1972, in the heart of New York ‘s Chinatown, tragedy struck as one Spirit betrayed its kin, unleashing a chain of events that disrupted the cosmic equilibrium. Reluctant heroes emerged, destinies entwined, and the fate of the universe hung in the balance, spanning continents from Kaifeng, China, to Hong Kong, Haiti, and Jamaica—all converging on the tumultuous streets of New York.
This new compact-sized (5.5X8.5″) edition of the sold-out fan-favorite series includes the original INTERTWINED series (remastered), the recent LAST JEWISH DAUGHTER OF KAIFENG special, and an exclusive, never-before-published story by the talented duo of, GREG ANDERSON ELYSÉE and DOMENICO CARBONE.
