Give in to Kung Fu Noir! Juan Jin’s nightmare has only just begun. Not only he’s been drugged and brought from Hong-Kong to the United States illegally, but he now has to go through humiliation, rudeness and brutality of New York’s Sing Sing Prison guards. And if it wasn’t enough, everyone’s after him and the Golden Dragon statue he’s mysteriously connected to. Darkness calls Juan Jin… Will he give in?

For once things go from worse to better in Intertwined #2, as his family’s apparent wealth manages to pull enough strings to get him out of jail. The mystic side of this odd series written by Fabrice Sapolsky finally presents itself in a splendid way, even it comes later in the issue. Yet it seems Juan Jin isn’t yet aware of the truth of what the dragon statue represents or even what his destiny is the grand scheme of things?

There is a subtle change of art by Fred Pham Chuong as the environment changes from Hong Kong to New York City. The major spotlight for the comic reveals itself towards the later half of this issue. The mystic side is much more vibrant than I expected, a subtle artistic choice of Chuong. That slight difference gives it a nice contrast from the noir atmosphere this series has to it up to this point.
