FCBD Bruce Lee: The Dragon Rises, Issue #0 is an all-ages adventure story taking place in 2012, the Year of the Dragon. It begins with coffee spilled on a medical tank by a security guard. A short while later, Bruce Lee steps out of a bus, dressed as a security guard and having no memory of who he is and no knowledge of post-1973 life in America. He makes his way to a karate studio, where he befriends a young boy and his sister after, of course, kicking their sensei's ass. He also meets "Old Joe," an aged man with a graying afro-natural hairstyle.
Okay, it's a little cheesy, reminiscent of The Clones of Bruce Lee, starring Dragon Lee, Bruce Le, and Bruce Lai (experienced viewers can pronounce every variant of Lee, Li, Lai, Lau, and Le differently and have their friends understand which "Bruce" they're talking about). It's written by Shannon (son of Bruce) Lee and Jeff Kline, with pencils and inks by Brandon McKinney and colors by Zac Atkinson. I only recognized the letterer, Troy Peteri, whose work I like. The question is whether I buy Bruce Lee: The Dragon Rises, Issue #1 when I buy comics on Wednesday, or if I get something else. I guess I'll figure that out in four days.
