THERE’S A NEW GOD IN TOWN. MONSTERS OF THE EAST, BEWARE!
Sun Wukong, the MONKEY KING, and his trusty three-headed puppy, CERBERUS, are heading to Heian-Kyo, ancient city of JAPAN.
When Wukong meets a named Momotaro whose MAGIC HAMMER has been stolen, they track the thief to an island of BANISHED BEASTS. Only Wukong and Momotaro – with the help of a SHAPESHIFTING FOX BEAST – can stop a monster from pitting humans and beasts against each other.
If they don’t…WAR will break out. And Wukong will never earn his place among the gods.
PACKED WITH MAGICAL WEAPONS, MYTHS AND MIGHTY BATTLES, THIS WILL BE THE MONKEY KING’S GREATEST ADVENTURE YET!
