Things become really spooky for Juan Jin. Nature starts acting really weird around him...as if plants, flowers, vines, trees or land were listening! His destiny is about to be fulfilled: he'll soon become the new Spirit of the Earth! Meanwhile, the Ghost Daggers, the gang led by the nefarious Nei Chang, are putting everyone in Chinatown under pressure. They want to find the Golden Dragon statue at all costs! Kung-Fu action, crime and mysterious, new characters all mixed up... The Kung-Fu Noir series has never been so aptly named!
The expressive way that Juan uses Wing Chun does recall Bruce Lee. But while there are references to Bruce Lee, Juan is his own character and more flawed that Lee was in any of his movies. I really enjoy watching Juan overcome those flaws on his way to be worthy of becoming the Spirit of the Earth.

This issue helps showcase artist Fred Pham Chuong‘s ability and we're treated to flowing and engrossing scenes of action. The issue has a lot of martial arts based action as well as bringing in a lot more plot through it all. The issue manages to reveal how the statue has affected Juan. That shows off the beginning stages of his new life and has me excited to see what happens next. Read Full Review
