"Bruce Lee will live again."
Darby Pop Publishing and Bruce Lee Entertainment have announced an interesting new comic book series called Bruce Lee: The Dragon Rises. It's a comedy, action, adventure story that will focus on Bruce Lee’s return to present-day.
The first issue was co-written by Lee’s daughter, Shannon Lee, and Jeff Kline (Jackie Chan Adventures, Indestructible). The comic also features art by Brandon McKinney (Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Doberman) and with cover art by Bernard Chang (Green Lantern Corps, Indestructible). This is the plot synopsis:
Bruce Lee never died. And he hasn’t aged. But, he has no idea who he is, what’s happened in the world in the past 40+ years, or why so many “thugs” want a piece of him. With the help of a fly Bff from the ’70s – Joe Toomey, P.I. – and a pair of precocious Teens, Bruce will...

Doberman #2

Frank Doberano comes back to the real world in this issue to get revenge on Jasper Kane. I didn’t find this issue to be quite as funny, maybe because there wasn’t the level of satire here that I was hoping for. Still, it has an original voice and a quirky comedic sensibility that I can’t quite shake. I have no idea where the series is going, apart from the revenge story, but I’m willing to read along.
After Doberman’s rescue of the women last issue, a visitor drops off a magazine that reveals that Jasper Kane is a free man. Doberman angrily returns to civilization where his indefinite leave from the police force is ended. His only goal is revenge, and he has kind of a hard time...

Doberman #1

Doberman is a pretty funny book to read if you remember that it’s a spoof/homage of all of those cop action films from the ‘80s, especially Lethal Weapon. Written by several of the writers for It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the book will feel strange if you don’t remember that it’s intended to be a loving parody. Once you remember that, it feels amusing to read.
Doberman is the epic tale of Frank Doberano, an Lapd officer. He’s the picture of every stereotyped office that doesn’t play by the rules and has panache, right down to his grizzled Kurt Russell looks. His nickname is the Doberman, and we can see his style on display when he foils a convenience store robbery by spitting beer in the faces of the robbers.
