For the first four issues, the writer is Dwayne McDuffie. It’s more similar to the cartoon in ways, with the mystical superpowers and off-the-wall villains. Yes, Billy and Jimmy beat up punks and Marian is there, but besides that, the comic goes out into left field to add color. Despite that, the series strays from loyalty to the games. Instead, this is right around the time when Double Dragon 3 was released on the NES.
JIMMY LEE DOUBLE DRAGON CARTOON MOVIE
This is several years before the cartoon and the movie and the game where they fight a giant space rat named Big Blag. This comic, released by Marvel, came out in 1991. Hence, the characters became Billy Lewis, Jimmy Lewis, Mariah and Abubo (rather than Abobo). Double Dragon 5 was released, but in actuality, it was a lame one-on-one fighter tie-in to the cartoon.īack in 2002, SNK Playmore was set to release a follow-up fighting game called Rage of the Dragons, but the licensing fell through. In the videogames, the brothers teamed up with the Battletoads in a completely random crossover. This led to a movie with a similar plot that was atrocious. Instead of plainclothes martial arts vigilantes, the Lee brothers were full-blown superheroes. Around then, the series took a turn for the worse.Ī cartoon series was released and it was pretty bad. There was a fighting game made for the Neo-Geo, but I never played it. Some of these games added weird mystical stuff to the series, like demonic gymnast crime bosses and evil mummies. Marian gets kidnapped and the brothers beat up street gangs in retaliation. Several sequels were made, each playing up the same formula. In the NES version of the game, they couldn’t get the 2-player co-op to work, so they just made Jimmy Lee evil. The brothers have to fight through legions of punks before saving Marian. In a slightly decrepit future, their mutual girlfriend Marian is shot by a machine gun-toting cyberpunk and taken away. Billy and Jimmy Lee are two brothers with identical fighting skills.
It just died, unless you count the re-release on the Gameboy Advance. No flashy resurrections like Ninja Turtles or Transformers.
JIMMY LEE DOUBLE DRAGON CARTOON PS3
You’d think we’d see a remake or sequel for the Wii or PS3 around this time, but nothing. It still surprises me that Double Dragon died out completely.
