"The Nine Rings of the Wu-Tang" envisions the band as Moorish martial-arts warriors in the ancient Spanish region of Andalusia. Author Aaron Bullock imagined a story about a modern archaeologist who, while excavating a Moorish site, happens upon a broadsword with nine rings on it, along with a series of scrolls. Upon the researcher's return to the United States, an old monk tells him to open the hilt of the sword, and each book is an exploration of every scroll. In the comic each rapper in the group has been rendered in superhero-style bulging biceps, and each is equipped with special powers for adventures with wizards, dragons and witches. This series is a must have for fans of fantasy and hip hop alike.
