There are few series that I think are flawless from the jump, but this is one. I believe in this first issue so much Ive ordered multiple copies that I plan on passing around at work. If the rest of this storyline is this good, Marvels got a stone groove winner on their hands. Read Full Review

Overall. A great start and a marvel of a story in which we get to see Spider-Man and Shang Chi work together on a job. Read Full Review

Shang-Chi is back this week, and the story and art are even better than the first time Yang and Ruan joined forces. The complexities of Shang-Chi's life now that he's the boss of a huge organization add a new layer to the character while he attempts to keep Esme in line and Spider-Man none the wiser. The creators have captured the inherent goodness and relatability of Shang-Chi incredibly well while wrapping it all up in an action-packed package. Shang-Chi hasn't been this entertaining in, well, maybe ever. Read Full Review

Dike Ruan delivers some beautiful imagery throughout this issue. The action scenes are beautifully detailed. The characters look great and the environments draw the eye. A fantastic looking issue. Read Full Review

The Master of Kung-Fu returns in his first ongoing in years. It's a joy to read, with fun building building, interesting conflict and some great art. It's a must-read, especially with the character returning to prominence. Read Full Review

All in all, this is a fun first issue that serves as a direct continuation of the creative teams vision, while providing a serviceable introduction to fans. They clearly have a lot of love and respect for our hero, striking a good balance of humor, drama, and incredible action thats worthy of the character. The lack of background doesnt take away from the enjoyment of this issue, and, if anything, the unanswered questions are more intriguing than frustrating. Read Full Review

Gene Leun Yung is a skilled creator who has found a perfect setup for our hero to show not only his skills but also his ability to face adversity and adversaries of all types.

Based on the first issue of Marvel's new Shang-Chi run, this seems like an excellent starting point. Not only does it do a great job of familiarizing you with the character's backstory, it features some really fun writing and characters. Read Full Review

Well worth a look if you are a fan of the character already and this will be part of the new Marvel story going forward so it will be interesting to see how it goes across into the other Avengers stories going forward. Read Full Review

I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong by such a feel-good book. Read Full Review

Whether you're a longtime Shang-Chi fan or want to find a good jumping on point in anticipation of the movie, you'll want to check this series out. Read Full Review

In the end, Im glad one of my favorite characters is finding ways to stay in print and with a movie in the near future. Its a good time to be Shang-Chi. I love the position hes in and the fact hes not going to play nice with others is even better. This first issue is definitely worth checking out. Read Full Review

Shang-Chi #1 hypes itself via it's cover and solicitation of being the start of a fight between the titular hero and the rest of the marvel universe, but if this issue is any indication, seeing those fights won't be worth the price of admission. Read Full Review

It has a better tone than the last min series I read where he finally got over his dad. This seemed to go off that, but was much better. I think its off to a pretty good start. It also didnt hurt that it had a great rendition of spidey.

At this point, it feels like Marvel's just cashing in on Shang-Chi. Not that they shouldn't the action on this is good and plays off of Shang's connections.

This arc kicks off with a nice Spidey team-up. I'm glad it's not the straight "vs the Marvel universe" fight suggested by marketing; it's more like Shang-Chi desperately trying to conceal his new role as a crimelord from his superhero buddies. The story's fast and simple, but satisfying. It has scruffy (good scruffy) art with very strong bones, and the dialogue's decent. Sister Esme is along to provide comic relief, but I appreciate that there's a well-justified frustration underneath her sass.

Pretty good start, will definitely be sticking around for more. Interesting premise and great writing by Yang (as always!), even if it felt slightly too slow at a few points.

Pretty good start, but nothing special.

Outstanding art.

Little rushed and sloppy imo, esp compared to New Super-Man

Feels like it would be so easy to be like “yeah dude i’m trying to reform my evil dad’s evil gang,” like so super easy to just say that?? But what do I know, that’s not a very dramatic exit line.

The artwork is great but the actual story is pretty much basic. Spiderman & Shang teaming up is something I would like to see more of. But this issue definitely operates under the impression that you already read enough about Shang Chi. I am curious to see where it goes in the next issue.

First time reading Shang-Chi. It's not bad, but it's nothing special.
