Introducing the newest hero in the DCU, the great sage, equal to the heavens, better than his predecessor the legendary Monkey King, even better than the Justice League and definitely the Teen Titans (actually, all the heroes combined), everyone put your hands together for...the Monkey Prince! Marcus Sun moves around a lot because his adoptive parents are freelance henchpeople. This month he finds himself as the new kid at Gotham City High School, where a mysterious man with pig features asks Marcus to walk through a water curtain to reveal himself as who Marcus really is: someone who has adventured through the Journey to the West, can transform into 72 different formations, can clone himself using his hairs, and is called...the Monkey Prince!

After retrieving the legendary Ruyi Jingu Bang from the depths of Atlantis, the Monkey Prince now wields a golden staff that can expand as large as a building and shrink as small as a toothpick for safekeeping in his own ear! As awesome as that is, Monkey Prince's civilian counterpart is still just adopted kid Marcus Sun, whose secret-henchpeople parents are on the run yet again after being caught in their super-villainy, and they're headed to Metropolis...which is great news for Monkey Prince because of his crush on Supergirl! Monkey Prince Vol. 2: The Monkey King and I collects Monkey Prince #0, #7-12, and backup stories from Lazarus Planet: Alpha and Lazarus Planet: Omega!
