Shang-Chi #1

Shang-Chi #1 (2020) kicks off with a powerful reveal: Shang learns his father, Zheng Zu, once led the Five Weapons Society—a legacy now fractured among his own siblings. As the newly appointed heir, he must navigate a web of sibling rivalries, including a volatile clash with his sister Sister Hammer, all while stepping into a role he never asked for. Written by Gene Luen Yang and illustrated by Dike Ruan and Philip Tan, with colors by Sebastian Cheng and letters by VC's Travis Lanham, the issue’s dynamic art and grounded tension set the stage for a family saga steeped in tradition and conflict. The cover by Jim Cheung captures the moment with striking intensity.
