Who would have thought that a sequel to Big Trouble in Little China would look a lot like Clint Eastwood’s Every Which Way But Loose? Actually it makes sense. Eastwood’s Philo Beddoe had his big rig and his trusty companion orangutan Clyde. Kurt Russell’s Jack Burton also has his own big rig, and in Issue #1 of BOOM! Studios new monthly comic book series Big Trouble in Little China, he brings along his own slobbery companion for John Carpenter’s 1980s trip back through Chinatown.
Or maybe this is more like Han Solo and Chewbacca? Or the 1980s Flash Gordon movie? Whatever it is, it’s crazy fun, and Kurt Russell hasn’t looked this good since, well, since his Big Trouble in Little China. Will Kim Cattrall’s Gracie Law make an appearance? James Hong’s Lo Pan make a visit from the other side?
You’ll just have to check out the series to find out. And keep an eye out for a whopping FOURTEEN cover variants for this issue, including covers by Frank Cho and Adam Hughes.
