Whilst reading Batman: Hush, I found an interesting looking read on Kindle Unlimited.

I found the first two volumes of the Captain China comic created and written by Chi Wang and drawn by Jim Lai. Here is the synopsis of the story:

"After 50 years of Cryogenic sleep, Captain China is revived in modern times to demonstrate China's achievement of world power in the 21st century. Created during the Great Leap Forward, this once great communist superhero must now exist in a modern time very different from the world he once knew. With new conflicts and threats rising, can he overcome all these obstacles and still be a symbol of the Great People’s Republic?"

I was curious of what direction the story would take. I've had rare exposure to Chinese comics. Dragon Tiger Gate might be the only one. The author describes what led to his creating the character of Captain China after the the first issue. You can also read the entire 12 issue arc on the Excel Comics website:

Its an interesting idea. Look it up online and give it a read.
