This May, Marvel will release Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu #1, the first issue of a new miniseries starring the master of Kung-Fu, Shang-Chi. There series will be written by Mike Benson (Deadpool Pulp) with art from Tan Eng Huat (X-Men Legacy), and will be full of murder, mystery and, of course, the martial arts.In the series, an MI-6 agent with ties to Shang-Chi’s past is murdered in cold blood. Shang-Chi travels to England to pay his respects and learns that everything is not as it seems. The vengeful Kung-Fu master must be careful, or he’ll find himself in the same state as his friend.”We’re really pushing Shang-Chi into the spotlight,” says series Editor Jake Thomas. “Here’s a guy who is part Bruce Lee, part James Bond, which seems like a perfect recipe to me! Mike’s written a story that is really going to surprise people, and getting Tan Eng Huat to draw wild kung-fu action sequences is an absolute dream. It’s got both cold, brutal espionage action along with the heart and soul of an old-school kung-fu quest. I could not possible be more excited for this story!”The series will feature old friends and new enemies, but in the end Shang-Chi will stand alone against scores of deadly foes. Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu promises to be an interesting mix of espionage and Kung-Fu action when it ships in May.DEADLY HANDS OF KUNG-FU #1 (of 4) Written by MIKE BENSON Art by TAN ENG HUAT Cover by DAVE JOHNSON
