Master of Kung Fu #51
In "Epilogue Brass and Blackness (A Death Move!!)", the aftermath of a devastating loss unfolds as Shang-Chi confronts the quiet grief of James Larner’s funeral, haunted by memories of his escape from Fu Manchu’s rocket ship. With Sir Denis Nayland Smith rallying his remaining agents, tensions rise during a tense meeting that ends in ambush—leaving Ms. Greville wounded and forcing Shang-Chi and Leiko Wu to walk away. The issue closes with a quiet moment of reunion and a stark, uncertain future, all rendered with the sharp storytelling of Doug Moench and the evocative art of Jim Craig, inked by Pablo Marcos and colored by Don Warfield, while Paul Gulacy’s striking cover captures the weight of the moment.
