review:
'Big Trouble in Little China the Illustrated Novel: Big Trouble in Mother Russia' by Matthew J. Elliott with illustrations by Elena Casagrande is a sequel decades after the film was released. It's written by a member of the RiffTrax staff.

Self-proclaimed red-blooded American hero and ladies man Jack Burton has recently gotten back from his adventures in Little China. He's riding around in the Porkchop Express with a new strange friend, and staying in touch with old friends. He gets a delivery job and winds up in the heart of Russia along with his best friend Wang.

I remember liking the original film, but I don't think I've seen it since the time I saw it in the theater. It feels like they got the characters right, but a little of Jack Burton's swagger goes a long way, especially in light of 2018. He's actually kind of a jerk, so this was a tough read.

There are a handful of illustrations, and they aren't bad. I'm just not sure we needed this sequel at this time.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Boom! Studios and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
