☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume launches Gene Luen Yang's acclaimed run on Shang-Chi, collecting the first issues of the 2021 series. It follows Shang-Chi as he grapples with the legacy of his father, the villainous Zheng Zu, and steps into a new role as the protector of his family's secret martial arts society. Along the way, he faces off against his siblings—including Brother Sabre and Sister Dagger—and encounters classic Marvel threats like Fin Fang Foom, while forging uneasy alliances with agents like Leiko Wu.
In "Brothers & Sisters Part One," Shang-Chi confronts a shocking legacy when he discovers his late father, Zheng Zu, was the head of the Five Weapons Society—a powerful network of rival houses led by his own siblings. With his father gone and his siblings locked in violent conflict, including his sister Sister Hammer, Shang must decide whether to step 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, this issue sets a tense, emotionally charged tone. The cover by Jim Cheung captures the weight of this moment with striking detail.
In "Brothers & Sisters Part One," Shang-Chi is thrust into a legacy he never asked for when he learns his father, Zheng Zu, once led the Five Weapons Society—a powerful network of five warring houses, each ruled by one of his siblings. Now that Zheng Zu is dead, Shang is set to inherit the mantle, but peace is far from certain as his siblings, including the fierce Sister Hammer, clash in a struggle for control.
