    Actually, the second one is right, it's issue #15 of the regular series.

    The first is the Kung Fu Special or the Special Album Edition Deadly Hands of Kung Fu.

    As far as I know there was never a Deadly Hands of Kung Fu Annual published by Marvel, just the issue #15 that was labeled an annual but was part of the regular series.

    Thanks for the info, as both labels have the exact same info.

    Influencers Strike Again! Peach Momoko Overwhelmed at NYCC

    Peach's line was the longest in Artist Alley every day of New York Comic Con, I waited over three hours on line to get an amazing remarque sketch from her which I was more than happy to do, because I just love her artwork.  She is so sweet and humble that I don't think she was prepared for just how popular she was and how long her line would be.

    The article correctly notes that on Sunday there were exhibitors and "influencers" who lined up before Artist Alley opened to the public and began to push and shove each other to claim the first spots on the line.  This was obviously and understandably stressful for Peach and her husband.  

    I also think that there was a lack of fan etiquette throughout the weekend as well.  When Peach wasn't signing and just painting at her booth there were crowds of people shoving cameras in her face while she was trying to work.  I don't know if this specifically bothered her, but it seemed very aggressive.  Also during the signings, there was a lot of people video recording their interactions with her for their Instagram reels.  Again, not sure if this specifically bothered her, but she is not a native English speaker and her husband translates for her a lot of the time so I can't help but feel like it was in poor taste to record a conversation with someone who does not necessary speak the language as well without first asking if it was okay.

    I cannot emphasize enough how kind and patient both Peach and her husband were throughout the weekend with fans.  She tried to have real interactions with her fans and was more than willing to pose for pictures with anyone who asked even though it dramatically slowed down the line at her booth.  She wasn't charging for her signature and was offering the remarques at a price so low, she was basically doing them for free.    

    Part of the problem with this was, Peach's husband really didn't strongly do anything. He never asked for security or anything, so the show promoter stepped in to set up parameters, and Con Helpers. On Sunday i talked with Peach and her husband to offer them the spot Jim Lee was in, it was curtained controlled environment with ropes outside so people would not block other exhibitors. Eventually they decided to stay , but without signings and remarques, some of the crowd went away. In the end, they only did huge sketches for attendees, which people were happy with.
