The pieces are all assembled, and Shang-Chi is surrounded on all sides! Can the Master of Kung Fu fend off attacks from New York's strongest crime families and Earth's mightiest heroes at once? And, even if he can, will Chinatown survive?
Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #3 wasn't given the page count and resources to shine with these complex ideas they were exploring. Read Full Review
It would have been okay for this comic's plot to be boring, but there's nothing exciting on the page to balance that stale structure. Read Full Review
This wasn't really a bad miniseries or anything, but I just had trouble getting interested in what was going on. That could be attributed to the fact that I haven't really kept up with Shang-Chi at all recently, but I just didn't find this was compelling as I think it could have been.
Neither this issue nor the series as a whole is particularly bad. But they are simple (in words, art, and ideas), verging on simplistic. #1 was tuned up to a higher standard, giving me unrealistic expectations and making the subsequent issues disappointing.
