Good ol’ Jack Burton wouldn’t be himself if he didn’t have a target on his back, but he’s not the only one hunted in the seventh issue of John Carpenter and Eric Powell’s Big Trouble in Little China comic book series from BOOM! Studios. Already feeling the heat from the Wing Kong, Jack's buddies Egg Shen and Miao Yin face the wrath of the Seven-Faced Widow, while Jack and Wang Chi strive to survive The Lords of Death. We've been provided with a set of preview pages from the seventh issue that tease the trouble ahead for Jack's pals.
“WHY WE LOVE IT: BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA is one of our favorite cult-classic films because it mashed together ’80s action and supernatural fantasy movies with ’70s kung-fu flicks. This is the first time any new BIG TROUBLE stories have been officially told, and we have the film’s original director, John Carpenter, working with Eric Powell (THE GOON) on the story. You can’t beat that!
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: Eric Powell is a huge fan of BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, so the sense of humor and over-the-top action he brings to THE GOON will be all over this book. Trust us, Brian Churilla’s (THE SIXTH GUN: SONS OF THE GUN) art on this is all kinds of fun.
WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Jack Burton, a macho, truck-driving adventurer, finds a stowaway hiding on his rig, The Pork Chop Express, but that soon becomes the least of his troubles. He helped his best friend Wang save his fiancée from the clutches of a demon, but now the wedding has been invaded by more evil forces with one thing on their minds—revenge against Jack Burton!”
