Monkey King FTW!

here's a silly little video game starring the Master of the Twelve Disciplines of Kung Fu... yeah, suckaz, it's the mighty Monkey King as depicted in American Born Chinese by master cartoonist Gene Luen Yang.

Birthday Haul review #1: "American Born Chinese"

so for my birthday I treated myself to a trip to Half-Price Books and bought a bunch of cool stuff, which I will be reviewing because the whole list was freaking awesome!

the best surprise of the haul was the graphic novel American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang. First of all, this paperback was beautifully designed and put together. As I was flipping through HPB's modest graphic novel selection, American Born Chinese dang near leaped off the shelf at me, and once I opened the book and caught a glimpse of the beautiful cartoony art, it went on the "buy" pile.
