RATED T+
Overall, Shang-Chi and The Ten Rings #1 is an action packed debut that shows the world who Shang Chi really is. The story by Yang is intricate and powerful. The art by the creative team is awe inspiring. Altogether, a fun story that will remind readers of Deadpool Vs Marvel Universe. Read Full Review
Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings #1 is an energetic first issue with a lot to love. It is full of action that is excellently captured by To that solidifies Shang as one of the most visually dynamic Marvel heroes when used correctly. The potential for guest stars is high just from those who have already been included, but the hero of the book already has demonstrated the ability to stand up and carry the book with his own strength.

The Master of Kung Fu gets a new volume of adventures. It's an exciting story, great art and one of the best ongoing series in the Marvel Universe. Read Full Review
Marcus To delivers some beautifully detailed and stylish art throughout the issue. I love the visual look of the issue and the thrilling action throughout it. Read Full Review
'Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings' is already a sterling example of what we all love about Marvel superhero stories. Shang-Chi is human and relatable, but when the kicks and quips start flying, he also reminds us how fun the medium can be. Read Full Review
While issue #1 opts to dig into Shang-Chi's own internal struggles a bit more, it's also filled to the brim with a number of excellent action pieces, which makes for some well-balanced and engaging storytelling. Read Full Review
Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings #1 is an excellent hook for a new story arc focusing on how Shang-Chi handles power. Read Full Review
Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings #1 is a martial arts battle fest from beginning to end. It's an explosive way to kick off the series and a change of pace from the usual first issues, which are usually mostly filled with exposition and set-up for future issues. Read Full Review
Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings #1 starts the issue numbering reboot with plenty of action and stellar art but a thin plot that does little to get readers invested in the story. Come for the cool action, but pass if you want something more. Read Full Review
Shang-Chi And The Ten Rings #1 isn't bad, and some panels of Marcus To drawing kung fu are fun, but there wasn't a spark or a surprise. Not for me, this reviewer supposes. We host a preview of the comic here. Surprisingly, no snarky commentary from Jude or the preview bot. Maybe next time. Read Full Review
This is a pretty good kick-off issue. It brings the reader up to speed with Shang-Chi's status quo without interrupting the rising action pace. Plenty of fighting here, and it's all drawn very nicely. The script is structured well and the prose uses fewer cliches than in the last series, for which I'm grateful.
Here's hoping that Delilah, Shang's would-be girlfriend, gets 2 or maybe even *3* appearances in this volume!
Third year in a row, and a third #1.
Gene Luen Yang spends time catching new readers up, once the plot kicks into high-gear it really starts to shine. Though, I am really missing Dike Ruan's artwork.
I hope this series reaches the same heights as its predecessor.
