Overall, Shang-Chi: Master of the Ten Rings #1 is a fun debut issue which shows off why Gene Luen Yang is a master storyteller. The story by Yang is exquisite. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, a story that fans of the movie and the character will surely enjoy. Read Full Review
This is the end of an era for Gene Luen Yang, and Shang-Chi will never be the same. This issue was a blast and a near perfect conclusion to the run that began only a few years ago. Read Full Review
I would recommend this one if you are a fan of this character or want to just try out a story with this character without having to catch up on a whole lot backstory to work out what is going on. Read Full Review
Shang Chi: Master of the Ten Rings #1 is an excellent conclusion to Gene Luen Yang's saga and repairs some of the problematic interpretations of the past. Read Full Review
On its own, Master of the Ten Rings isn't the best Shang-Chi comic I've read, but it serves as a nice epilogue of sorts. Read Full Review
It's a good story. The storytelling used to convey it is a little simple when it comes to prose and art, but the structure is solid. The writer does a particularly good job keeping up the pace and building tension. This is a satisfying way to cap off his run.
Gene Luen Yang's Shang-Chi run is something that never seemed to click with me the way it did with others, but I appreciate what it did for the character nonetheless. Martial Arts is not really my sort of genre.
