Hey kids, Shang-Chi!
After more than 300 issues of the show it was past time that Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston discussed the son of Fu-Manchu who is also Marvel's self-styled "Master of Kung-Fu"! That's twice the Fu!
From beginnings as a leap onto the martial arts bandwagon of the 70s with a Bruce Lee-inspired lead to weaving the legend of Fu Manchu into his story to the ups and downs of a character the publisher sometimes loved, sometimes loathed, there was a lot to cover with one of JediCole's favorite comics!

"I Think I"m Turning Japanese" continues with a stealthy new issue all bout the ubiquitous and mystified Japanese icon, the Ninja!
From their arrival on the popular culture shores of the West in the 80s to the present day, Ninja are a huge part of the modern comic vernacular. One writer/artist certainly saw to the bolstering of their popularity with work that would inspire a remarkably parody that forged an empire.
Like the night out of which they silently emerge, Ninja are with us now and forever...in comics!
