Xin: Journey of the Monkey King #1

Xin: Journey of the Monkey King Part 1 kicks off with Xin, Sanzen, and the General arriving in Sky Tent City, welcomed by the charming Captain Tempo and his devoted wife Si. As the city faces a sudden attack from a mysterious monster targeting Sanzen, her sacred staff proves crucial in repelling the threat. After a lively banquet and a spirited drinking contest between Xin and Tempo, Si retreats to her room, troubled by her husband’s behavior—only to be approached by a shadowy figure offering her help. Written by Kevin Lau, Erik Ko, and Jay Faerber, with art by Kevin Lau and Udon’s Omar Dogan, and a cover by Kevin Lau, this issue blends adventure and quiet tension in a vividly drawn world.
