This summer, writer Gene Luen Yang teams up with artist Marcus To to continue their Shang-Chi saga with Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings #1. After revelations about the hero's origin and family, dangerous additions to his rogues gallery, and changes to his relationship with the wider Marvel Universe, the hero's future is more unpredictable than ever.
Following the emergence of the legendary Ten Rings, we've learned that their power rivals the Infinity Gems and that makes them a weapon everyone from Hydra to the Hand wants their hands on. Now, Marvel Comics has announced that Shang-Chi is getting a new ongoing series with the previously solicited Shang-Chi #13 now Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings #1.
Shang-Chi has gained possession of the powerful Ten Rings. But so much concentrated energy has not gone unnoticed and every bounty hunter, assassin and evil syndicate in the Marvel Universe is coming to take the Rings from him! But will the responsibility and the truth of the Rings be too much to bear for the hero? The debut issue will see Shang-Chi in a striking showdown with Razorfist, more trouble for the Five Weapons Society, and the first appearance of a new foe - Red Cannon!
"It's been such a joy to work with Marcus To over the last couple of months. He's a brilliant artist. His characters are vibrant and full of energy, and he's so good at fight choreography!" Yang said in a press release today. "We're all really excited about the new #1! And about bringing in ten of the most powerful items ever into the Marvel Universe!"
"[We're] gearing up to give the fans one hell of an action packed book," To added. "Shang-Chi is the greatest hand-to-hand combatant in the Marvel Universe, and we’re gonna show it in this story."
