The story of the “Journey of the West” has long been adapted into countless forms of media, with anime series such as Dragon Ball, The God of High School, Digimon, and more having the age-old tale to thank for several of their characters, and it seems as if the “classical novel of Chinese literature” has inspired once again with DC Comics’ upcoming Monkey Prince. Released as a part of the upcoming Festival of Heroes, DC is creating a superhero anthology to celebrate the Asian Superhero and give fans a first look at this new character in the universe of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.
Like most Asians, I grew up with the Monkey King & my parents telling me stories about his adventures in Journey to the West. In a lot of ways, he’s my first superhero, so I’ve always wanted to bring him into the DCU as one. Introducing…THE MONKEY PRINCE!https://t.co/KGBp87Aiwv pic.twitter.com/icLUzKmbON
