Big Trouble in Little China / Escape from New York

In this 2016–2017 crossover from Boom! Studios, writer Greg Pak and artist Daniel Bayliss unite two iconic action heroes for a six-issue miniseries that pits Jack Burton and Snake Plissken against a shared, reality-bending threat. When a mystical artifact from the Little China underworld winds up in the lawless ruins of Manhattan, Plissken’s cynical survival instincts clash with Burton’s brash luck in a story that blends kung-fu chaos with dystopian grit. It’s a clever, fast-paced team-up that captures the distinct tones of both John Carpenter films while delivering a fresh, standalone adventure.
