CM PUNK BACK WRITING COMICS FOR MARVEL

By Mike Johnson & Paul Jordan on 2017-08-17 09:17:00

Former WWE champion turned UFC fighter CM Punk will write a one shot Master of Kung Fu issue for Marvel's "Legacy" line. The original Master of Kung Fu series ran from 1974-1983, inspired by the popularity of Bruce Lee.  

The issue Punk is writing is numbered #126 with the idea that it is continuing the original run, as the original run ended with #125.  Set for a November release, the issue will feature Dalibor Talajic on art and Mike Mayhew providing the cover art.  

Promotional material for the book notes: 

Shang-Chi’s Day Off Part 1 (OF 1)

The Marvel Universe is full of fighters: brawlers, scrappers, weapons experts, mystical kung fu virtuosi. But there’s only one martial artist skilled enough to be called the greatest. SHANG-CHI has been a pinch hitter for a long time, stepping in for Avengers missions when no one else would do, but when no one can match your speed or skill, sometimes it’s best to work alone. To see what you’ve been missing if you don’t know Shang-Chi, don’t miss MASTER OF KUNG FU!
