This isn't the dark ages anymore (we all live in that reality every day). So, why not just sit back, relax, and enjoy the antics of Shang-Chi for a humorous ride of thrills and martial art buffoonery? Read Full Review

Long story short, CM Punk and Dalibor Talajic deliver a fun side-quest for Shang-Chi. Check out what the master of Kung-Fu gets into on when not breaking faces on the clock. Read Full Review

The story is absurd but fun and there are some funny moments and one-liners in this issue. I fear that the lighter tone might box the character into a corner in the future. Read Full Review

For a new reader, I hate to say it but Master of Kung Fu #126 is a poor introductionto Shang-Chi if you have never been introduced to this character before. The story has great potential, but CM Punk needs some work on basic comic book storytelling, he relies too much on his writing and jokes instead of letting artistDalibor Talajic take the reins. Hopefully, Marvel will give Shang-Chi another chance at a series; because in the right hands you can tell some fantastic stories with his characters (may I suggest Ed Brisson he has been on a role with the current Iron Fist series). The art on Master of Kung Fu #126 is the highlight asDalibor Talajic andErick Arciniega really shine throughout the issue. Read Full Review

Dalibor Talajic's artwork is a treat to pore over, and even the Kung Fu monkey looked good. Unfortunately, that's not enough to overlook this issue's lackluster story and the half-hearted attempt to turn Shang-Chi into something that he isn't. Read Full Review

"Master of Kung Fu" #126 is a cute, slightly problematic take on Shang-Chi wrapped up in magnificent artwork. Read Full Review

I want to tell you to support the first Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu comic to come out since Secret Wars. I want to say this was better than I expected. However, it really wasnt. It was pretty distinctly awful. The humor wasnt funny. The villains were insufferable. The art is the only saving grace, and it cant salvage the fairly moronic plot. Read Full Review

Dalibor Talajic's art has the essence of an old Kung Fu movie, successfully hammering home the intended tone along with Erick Arciniega's color. Unfortunately there isn't much else to grab onto here. Fans of Shang Chi should look to the recent arc of Ed Brisson's Iron Fist for a more satisfying experience worthy of both the character and their time. Read Full Review

Shang-Chi crushes a cheap Hand scientist's dreams of training Kung-Fu animals. CM Punk has worked hard to deliver a funny story, but his jokes are too generic and his antagonist is too lightweight to carry more than 2-3 pages against *any* Marvel hero. This is a "kooky tone-setting scene explaining why Shang-Chi has a monkey sidekick" moment inadvisably blown up to issue length. As an introduction or standalone story it's just too flimsy; this might do as a comedy breather episode in an ongoing Shang-Chi series. Dalibor Talajić does at least work hard to make it look pretty.
