SPIDER-ISLAND: THE DEADLY HANDS OF KUNG FU #3 goes on sale this week. This is the final part of the story, and features some nice treats for fans of the Immortal Weapons.

The jaw-dropping villain revealed! A conspiracy of horror exposed! Shang-Chi, master of kung fu, uncovered a monster threat to humanity’s very existence in the midst of the Spider-Island infestation… but can he stop it in time?

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed writing Shang-Chi. He’s one of the few characters I’ve lobbied Marvel for, and I’ve been talking to them about doing a standalone Shang series for a while. Fingers crossed it’ll come to pass, but for now I wave a sad farewell to The Master of Kung Fu.

(This is also the last book I worked on with editor extraordinaire Alejandro Arbona before last week’s bloodletting, which makes me doubly sad.)

The order code is AUG110600, and you can read a three-page preview at Comic Book Resources.

Also, a couple of appearances to announce:

First, I’m doing a short signing at the MCM London Expo this weekend. I don’t have a table at the expo this year, and will unfortunately only be around for one day. So if you want to catch me for any reason, make a note: Saturday 29th, 1-2pm @ The Comic Village signing table.

And the day before that, I’ll be on the Writing Games 2.0 panel at the London Screenwriter’s Festival, along with top-flight writers Steve Ince, Andy Walsh and Ed Stern. I’ll also stick around for the Q&A afterwards, so if you’re attending the festival, come up and say hi. This one is Friday 28th, 5-6pm @ Regents College.
