One thing I have to say about Chuck BB whenever he draws a commission for me is that he always brings the friggin' thunder! I gave Chuck a few opponents to choose from for this Karate Kid commission, and we ultimately settled on I-Ching. If you're not familiar with I-Ching, he is the martial arts master who trained Wonder Woman when she lost her powers way back in the day. He has since popped up in the Batman books multiple times, helping the Bat-Family out against various threats. I-Ching even once sparred with Nightwing and Robin at the same time and made them both look like inept fools. What I'm saying is, that he's a REALLY good fighter. Anyway, Chuck absolutely filled this piece with energy and ink, and I love the perspective! Everyone should own some Chuck BB art, and I'm glad to add this to my collection. Thanks, Chuck!





I love I-Ching. He's a classic martial arts sensei, and he is always entertaining in his appearances. That said, he is going down. It would be interesting to see I-Ching react to a situation where he is most definitely not the superior martial artist. I think he would probably use humor in addressing Karate Kid's greater skill level, and ask if he could be the student this time. But it would be a fun sparring session, with both characters displaying skill and respect.
