Marvel Comics and Shang-Chi #1 Spoilers and Review follows.
What Is Shang-Chi’s New Status Quo? Is He Really A Villain Vs. Spider-Man In Debut Issue?
The book has a few more variant covers in addition to the above.
Plus the main cover.
We open with a storyline catch-up page, with information presumably from Shang-Chi’s recent Marvel appearances, plus creators’ credits.
The book ends with Shang-Chi spilling the beans to Spider-Man as…
…its clear that Shang-Chi, and his sister Esme, have a hold on their father’s evil empire.
Spider-Man is not sure whether he can trust Shang-Chi, but Chi has faith in Spidey’s spider-sense.
The book ends with a shadowy, presumably, bad guy and a tease of issue #2 that sees Shang-Chi vs. Captain America.
The Pulse:
Decent parts action and intrigue. Solid art. A compelling first issue. 8 out of 10.
