Shang-Chi #5 perfectly balances action and emotion for a satisfying-and game-changing-end to Shang-Chi's latest adventure. With the promise of more Shang-Chi stories on the horizon, as well as the premiere of Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Ringslater this year, the Master of Kung Fu's future has never looked brighter.

Hopefully, this mini-series, which is pretty much the new origin story for this character will lead to newer stories. Read Full Review
Diek Ruan and Philip Tan deliver some beautiful imagery throughout this issue. Both artists and their styles merge well with the emotion and tone of the story and there is a great energy to the panels and the action. Read Full Review
Shang-Chi #5 wraps up a story arc that leaves the title character more interesting and with a more complex world to explore than before it started. Yang continues to be one of the best writers at pace and plot while never losing sight of the emotional journey along the way. The art for this series is darker than most superhero tales but managed to capture the kung-fu and complexities of ancient societies in a dark and naturalistic way. Read Full Review
Shang-Chi #5 wraps up this chapter of the new direction for Shang-Chi but sets up what's to come. The team has done a great job of resetting the character and delivering a fantastic groundwork to launch many more stories to come. There's a lot of potential here and it should be interesting to see where this goes and the impact on the rest of the Marvel Universe. Overall, a solid story that's worth checking out.

Yang's Shang-Chi is an interesting new take, and this issue's ending proves to be an impressive setup for a new take on the Master of Kung-Fu. Read Full Review
Shang-Chi #5 may not be the series' most visually impressive chapter or its best paced, but it is a fitting end to an even better series. Read Full Review
A solid ending, I just wish tnere would have been more issues ! This had jokes, action , and a story of fate with Freudian overtones. How does this shit not sell?

It started out a little rough and uninspiring but it finished well enough and I enjoyed the series overall considering Ive never read Shang Chi before.
I was just kinda bored with this issue. But we'll see how the next series goes. Hopefully, it's better.
Very by the book. Not very original.
Shang-Chi ends his sister's vampire threat and does a chunk of character development for her as well as himself. The words and art in this last issue are rather rough, but I like the new status quo it establishes for the character. Although that's really a series-wide accomplishment that was 80% complete in the first issue ...
