After a stellar mini-series showcasing Shang-Chi and the mythos surrounding the character, writer Gene Luen Yang and artist Dike Ruan are returning to the master of martial arts for a new ongoing series from Marvel Comics. Kicking off in May, Shang-Chi will follow the hero on a surprising new journey as he finds himself facing off against Marvel’s heroes.
After the events of his latest series, Shang-Chi has finally taken his place as the leader of the Five Weapons Society but using an evil secret organization as a force for good won’t be easy. And it’s about to get a lot harder when Shang-Chi’s fellow super heroes from Spider-Man to the X-Men to the Avengers, start to question his motives! Don’t miss what happens when Shang-Chi and his newfound family of warriors collide with the Marvel Universe’s biggest heroes!
“I’m very, very thankful for all the support that we got for the Shang-Chi miniseries. I mean, the first two issues sold out,” Yang said. “I’m thrilled that we get to continue the story of Shang-Chi and his siblings in the Five Weapons Society. We’re going to show how Shang-Chi’s brand-new role affects the rest of the Marvel Universe. We’ll have him interact with old friends and new foes… and even old friends who become new foes. Dike Ruan and I are already hard at work. The stuff I’ve seen from Dike so far has been his best yet.”
Shang-Chi #1 features a main cover by Leinil Francis Yu. It’s set for release on May 19th, 2021.
