This is a rather interesting experiment from Marvel and one thats been a long time in coming. Its great to see new talent from other countries work on a Marvel canonical book, and not turn out to be a future EiC pretending to be from Japan. Time will tell if Sword Master and Aero stick around outside of Greg Paks corner of the Marvel Universe. However, its a great setup for some drastically different comics in a superhero universe.

Packed with two solid stories that serve well as introductions, Sword Master (2019-) #1 is a highly-accessible, highly-entertaining read. Read Full Review
This is a perfect example of how to start off an ongoing series. Perfect balance of introduction and set up of the story. I wasn't overloaded with too much info. I want to know what's next, and look forward to reading Lin's adventures! Read Full Review
Sword Master #1 shouldn't be missed. It's great to see Marvel give a different kind of hero and story a chance. Comic readers should do the same. Read Full Review
There are a lot of moving parts, and the two stories presented don't really gel perfectly, but it's a fun read that makes me want to see more of this young hero (and also Shang-Chi, but that's kind of a given.) Read Full Review
Once again, it's mostly standard superhero fare, but it does end on a tease that should have Marvel fans coming back next issue. Read Full Review
Pretty good.
While Lin Lie doesn’t have the most original origin story (feels like a mixture between Sam Alexander and Oliver Queen), the art is good and there was enough action and mystery to keep my going for the next issue, but ughhh the angst in this issue had me cringing. The second story written by Pak was also beautifully drawn but much more enjoyable as Shang-Chi mentors Lin
