Travel back in time sixty years to 1959 where Johnny Unitas and Fu Jitsu fought crime as The Golden Arm and Shaolin Lad! Then travel sixty centuries into the future where Robert Wadlow tries to escape the infernal prison at the end of time! Then travel back to now and see this story is just getting started! Kung-fu-time-travel-football goodness, brought to you by AfterShock Comics! From Jai Nitz, the award-winning writer of El Diablo, Suicide Squad Most Wanted and Dream Thief, comes this action-packed new series with art from Teen Titans Annual artist Wes St. Claire!
Fu Jitsu hits the right notes with this reader. It is the one title I want to hand a fellow comic fan and ask, "Do you like this as much as me?" "Did you get that reference to"?" While I'm still not sure if this title will resonate with a broad audience, it does get my fanboy approval. Read Full Review
Luckily,Fu Jitsu contains enough humorous charm to make it an entertaining read, and it's unique enough to not simply end up as Just Another Superhero Comic. The narrative's got a lot going on, though it keeps the reader in the dark for a lot of it. Still, I'm confident in the creators' capacity to weave it all together before long, and I'm definitely excited to continue reading. Read Full Review
However, the art doesnt quite salvage the story. Despite actually being a decent send-up of classic comics, the unfocused narrative, cold and detached narrator and lead, and generally hyper-dense plot leaves Fu Jitsu lacking. Its not a particularly enjoyable read, and I cannot recommend it. Give this one a pass. Read Full Review
