Shang-Chi #3 delivers one of the best fight sequences in the series to date and shows the cracks in the Master of Kung Fu's new life. The next issue will see Shang going up against the Fantastic Four, and with a mysterious figure in the works plotting to destroy the Five Weapons Society, the timing couldn't be worse.

Now here're the bits of Shang-Chi that I like to see. Shang has always been someone willing to support family rather than try to push them apart, even if he fumbles about it.
So when the new Sister Staff turns out to be a mutant, it's nice to see how many people are willing to go to her defense. As well as the spectrum when it comes to anti-mutant attitudes. The people filming Sister Staff really are the kind of people just looking for attention, because apparently a lake monster isn't really that buzzworthy. I mean getting a little fame for finding someone who can control it certainly sends people a little more fame. As can the people who are mobbing just to have something.

I’m a huge fan of the theme of trying to support your family through thick and thin, I’m new to the character of Shang-Chi but I thought the stories so far have been good.
The latest addition to Shang-Chi's supporting cast is an exiled half-sister who proves to be a mutant; thus, inevitably, there's a confrontation with Wolverine. The art's good, the writing's decent, the plot is a little by-the-numbers. I continue to enjoy the world-building, though; Zhilan is another excellent new character. But I'm tiring of the continual "you want us to be good instead of evil WHAAAA?" conflicts between Shang and his siblings; he really should have sat them down to have a 30-minute chat about morals and ethics ages ago.
The art is solid. The book is ok overall. Its pretty standard comic booking, and while its not bad and contains fun parts, it could be better.
This was fine, but it didn't seem like much happened here. But we'll see.
