This young boxer is headed to the rink, but his boss tells him that because of a deal he has to take a hit and lose this round so that his boss can make some money. Lots of flashbacks to when John was in the army, when he was living on the streets as a younger child getting in fights. John Shaft decides to take things into his own hands because he sits down for nobody. He wins the round and has an amazing fight. Then afterwards he gets beat up by one of his bosses hit-men. The muscle goes easy on him though and tells him that he needs to lay low and not box anymore, come up with another plan for his life.
Pretty good read. Interested to see how far this goes, or if this comic book version of Shaft ends up being a lot like the Shaft from the movies. Mostly with the treatment of women. I'm curious to see if someone would try that in (nearly) 2015, even if it is supposed to be telling the classic story.
