Xin: Journey of the Monkey King #2

In "Xin: Journey of the Monkey King Part 2," the fate of Tenpo takes a grotesque turn when his wife’s sudden passion leads to a shocking transformation—awakening as a human pig, a consequence of his past indiscretions. Meanwhile, Xin, Sanzen, and the General press their fight against the Spider Queen, who evades capture by weaving an impenetrable web around herself and Sanzen. Written by Kevin Lau, Erik Ko, and Jay Faerber, with art by Kevin Lau and Udon’s Omar Dogan, this 2003 Harris Comics issue delivers a vivid blend of mythic stakes and twisted karma, all framed by Kevin Lau’s cover pencils and Eric Vedder’s inks.
