Big Trouble in Little China Escape From New York (001-006) (2016-2017)

"Written by Greg Pak and illustrated by Daniel Bayliss, the title finds big-mouthed truck driver Jack Burton transported to the dystopian future of 1997, where he meets his taciturn, eyepatch-sporting doppelgänger Snake Plissken."

Snake Plissken and Jack Burton together for the first time? You better believe it! There are few men in the history of action movies that have accomplished as much as Kurt Russell has. Most action stars are lucky to be associated with one iconic character, but Russell has been lucky enough to be associated with several. Now, thanks to a brand new comic from BOOM! Studios, two of Russell's most iconic characters are going to meet one another face to face.

Russell played Jack Burton in 1986's Big Trouble In Little China and Snake Plissken in Escape From New York in 1981. Both John Carpenter movies have gone on to become cult classics, and the characters themselves as portrayed by Russell are some of the most memorable in the filmmaker's long history. Here is how EW described the crossover.

The premise sounds delightfully campy, and seems very fitting of the tone tha that was established by both movies in the 80s. BOOM! Has been publishing comics based on both Big Trouble In Little China as well as Escape From New York for a while now, so the crossover makes a lot of sense. What is perhaps most exciting about the crossover is that John Carpenter, who created the characters and directed both movies, has given his blessing for the project!
