Shang-Chi #2

Shang-Chi #2 continues to test the Master of Kung-Fu's bond with his superhero compatriots and his newfound family. The next issue pits Shang against Wolverine and promises even more family mayhem, which sounds like a recipe for an awesome comic. Read Full Review

Its only issue two but weve already been treated to a fight with Spider-Man, Captain America, agents of AIM, Hydra, and the Hand, plus a new addition to Marvels female villain pool, and subterfuge and intrigue. Genes adaptation of a figure from an old Chinese adventure book is pure magic. Gene and Dikes working relationship is giving me Claremont & Byrne levels of excellence, because each issue seems they push each other to do better than the last. Read Full Review

Shang-Chi #2 continues to be a rollicking good time. It's fun and not afraid to try out new takes on the hero fights hero concept. It's also episodic in nature, allowing for anyone to dip in and enjoy the adventure while ever so slightly building towards a showdown between Shang-Chi and Marvel's greatest heroes.

Marvel's new Shang-Chi series continues to be one of the more enjoyable comics that I have read in quite some time. Read Full Review

Dike Ruan delivers some powerful and beautifully drawn panels throughout this issue. There is a lot of action in the plot and Ruan masterfully brings both the power and energy of the action out on each page. Read Full Review

While the battle between Shang-Chi and Captain America is fast, the battle with the villains and especially Lady Iron Fan is well executed classic action fun. The entire issue is a well made heist plot and the pure love the creative team has for this character and this madcap story is palpable. Although Shang-Chi isn't battling the Marvel Universe, he is reconnecting with it, and through this filter with fans old and new. Read Full Review

The emotional resonance between these characters feels genuine, the action scenes feel organic in their development, the "giving you some Street Fighter" versus vibe is tight, and this book is a winner. Read Full Review

Inventive story. Killer art. A star making turn for a C-list character. This is a book you need to pick up. Read Full Review

Looks like a plot between Shang-Chi is continuing to build up from the last mini-series. It looks like the reader is starting to feel Shang go down the path his father wanted for him. The way his interactions with Saber flares up, considering what he saw, there's an uneasy tension between them. It feels like Takeshi is looking for his reason to betray Shang; me I can only hope that these half-brothers come to an understanding, talking about Shang's anxieties and entrusting Takeshi with a task of preventing him from becoming like Zheng Zu.

Dike Ryan's art is dynamite. It raises this already solid book up wonders.

I wasn't really feeling issue one... or the previous miniseries much at all. But I enjoyed this one a lot. I found it charming and genuinely funny at times.

Why are the covers for this comic, Wolverine #13, and Amazing Spider-Man #69 all stylistically so similar? Is it fighting while falling week?

Shang-Chi and Deadly Sabre are off to Macau when a triad puts a Cosmic Cube up for sale. "Supervillain auction" is not the most novel premise -- didn't we just see it in the MODOK miniseries? -- but the creators do a commendable job putting their own spin on it. A very funny start segues into a Captain America team-up featuring some solid plot twists. And on the strategic scale, I appreciate how these self-contained adventures are also building up a novel rogues' gallery for Shang-Chi.

Its a very entertaining read and I really am enjoying this series but, when you think about what actually was accomplished.... Its not much. Still solid though and had some really good art.
