'The Shang-Chi graphic novel is a really good read. It has all of the great fights and secret societies but it keeps everything grounded, with only some magical or out-there concepts. The magic is not the focus of the story but it is still acknowledged. I like the way the secret society differed from its movie counterpart, giving it different motivations that still end up with a similar result. *SPOILER ALERT* I like seeing Shang-Chi trying to live a life away from his father’s society but being pulled back in and forced to take charge to stop it from going down a dark path. Overall, the novel is enjoyable and fun to read, I would recommend it to anyone interested in martial arts based movies or books.'

'Fans of the recent Shang-Chi movie should really check out this excellent graphic novel that tells a similar tale of our hero being tied back to his troubled family criminal empire. The artistry is excellent throughout the book and the story is great. Definitely a 5 star for me!'
