It's #NCBD once more, what are you picking up?
Here's my top four of the week, thoughts coming soon
If you've read this far and are interested in learning more about Shang-Chi for yourself, I suggest starting with the one-shot The Legend Of Shang-Chi and working your way backwards from there. This single issue contains everything you want from a Shang-Chi story, easing you in.
To promote the movie, Marvel Comics worked with "American Born Chinese" writer Gene Luen Yang to create the first self titled volume of Shang-Chi. This miniseries proved successful enough to warrant a second volume, now an ongoing, with the first issue coming out this May.
And sometimes it was just used as a good excuse to show off an artists skills, I'll be honest. But never at the expense of a dramatic story!
It was often used simply as a reason to catch new readers up to speed on who Iron Fist was and what he was capable of doing.
This sort of thing happened all the time in classic Power Man and Iron Fist, lemme tell ya. ALL. THE. TIME.
Like, after Sons Of The Tiger stopped being a thing, it was Bob Diamond's entire raison d'etre. https://t.co/5ROBIHls26
Marvel Premiere #20, the issue which gave us a phenomenal fight between Iron Fist and Batroc the Leaper. Not only is this a fun issue with some crucial plot and character developments, but it also features a truly incredible TWELVE-PANEL GRID of well-choreographed martial arts.
Okoye is then introduced to the very wounded Prince Of Orphans. I can only assume the intention is for the audience to go "Oh thank goodness, I assumed he was dead!" but there's no mention of him being the final Immortal Weapon, nor does anybody mention his absence earlier, alas.
Yo! I strongly recommend you check out #calvinloveinternet on instagram, his artwork is incredible. Here are a couple of redesigns of Colleen Wing and Iron Fist for your viewing pleasure.
