Master of Cheap Fu
Marvel Shang-Chi Sale runs through Monday, 8/31.
Shang-Chi got reconfigured after the film version came out and became more of a fantasy figure than an espionage one with the introduction of the Ten Rings. Gene Yang was writing most of this. (As you may have heard, Yang is a Genius with a MacArthur Foundation grant to prove it, plus some Eisner and Harvey Awards.)
All of his work is collected in Shang-Chi by Gene Luen Yang with Dike Ruan and Marcus To on art.
If you wanted something a little closer to the flavor of the original series, there’s Deadly Hands of Kung Fu: Out Of The Past by Mike Benson / Tan Eng Huat is what you’re looking at in this sale. It also has some material from the 70s Deadly Hands of Kung Fu magazine.
Simply Red
Dynamite Red Sonja Sale runs through Monday 9/8.
Let’s run through the highlights first.
- Red Sonja: She-Devil With a Sword (’05 – ’13) – Mike Carey / Michael Avon Oeming / Eric Trautman / Mel Rubi / Walter Geovani
- Queen Sonja (’09-’13) – Joshua Ortega / Arvid Nelson / Luke Lieberman / Mel Rubi / Jack Herbert
- Red Sonja (’13-’15) – Gail Simone / Walter Geovani
- Red Sonja (’17-’19) – Amy Chu / Erik Burnham / Carlos Gomez
- Red Sonja (’19-’21) – Mark Russell / Bob Quinn
- Immortal Red Sonja Vol. 1 – Dan Abnett / Alessandro Miracolo
- Vol. 2 here (listed w/ the single issues for unknown reasons)
What’s good here? Dynamite’s time with Red Sonja started out strong with Oeming/Carey/Rubi. Gail’s run definitely has it’s fans. We’re also very big fans of the Mark Russell/Bob Quinn run which manages to be a high adventure comic AND a satire of fantasy politics and tropes at the same time. It’s really quite impressive.
