Before Shang was the mentor to the Guardian of the Nexus, bear witness as his past is finally revealed!
The war for the Imperial throne is coming to an end. Shang, the last of his dynasty, seemed nearly invincible until a new general was chosen to lead the Imperial army. As these two strong forces race towards their inevitable clash, sinister forces plot to defeat them both.
Shang combines the growing desire of knowing who is the man behind the name with the presence of an important legendary literary character, allowing readers to wait in anticipation as we watch this complicated premier unfold. Although unfamiliar names and mystical mythologies serve to complicate matters plus artwork which at times appears stunning and others unsure of how to clarify the images they are trying to conjure, the ominous foundations which have been set serve as a secure scaffolding as a promising story unfolds with a new alliance and improbable foes. The future appears glowing but with only two issues remaining, hopefully this series will develop fully before we are forced to bid our heroes goodbye to an uncertain future. Read Full Review
