    Indeed they did. That was stupid. You don't give away the ending in the solicit, for crying out loud!
    Welcome to Metropolis, where crime is at an all-time low thanks to it being under the watchful eye of Superman—a.k.a. the perfect place for two henchpeople scientists a.k.a. Monkey Prince’s parents to find their next henchpeople gig at, right? Nope! They’re actually there to visit Grandpa…a.k.a. Ultra-Humanite?

    Well since we are openly talking about it...since when did Ultra-Humanite have a kid? And one that he cares about no less.

    Not to mention this really connects Monkey Prince to Superman and the JSA

    It's a fun issue. I'm hoping Marcus gets to meet Kenan soon.

    I'm really not liking this idea of doing event tie-ins for limited series. DC did the same for Nubia's mini/Trial of Amazons and I hope that this won't turn into a regular practice. Could have just cut this one down to 8 issues and released new Lazarus Planet: Monkey King 4 issues mini for the event.

    Probably sales are very low so they are hoping that this will attract some customers.

    So, I'm guessing DC is lazily trying to push this Monkey Prince character into their version of Shang-Chi?

    What are the similarities asides of them both being Asian?

    Another fun issue, I'm really going to miss the Monkey Prince series when it's over. Hope we see more of the character after this and Lazarus Planet.

    Shang-Chi doesn't have the monopoly of Chinese myths.
    DC: Dick Grayson, Wally West, Donna Troy, Yara Flor, Titans

    Some of my favorite Mangas: One Piece, Slam Dunk, Fullmetal Alchemist, HunterXHunter, Vinland Saga, Monster, Berserk, Vagabond.
    Current reading: Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, Spy X Family, Kaiju Nș8, Blue Lock, Dandadan.

    Yang does write both but DC started using Chinese Mythology more seriously in Superman of China. So Marvel is copying them lol.
