Gene Luen Yang and Dike Ruan Reunite for SHANG-CHI #1 This May
Marvel Comics recently announced that writer Gene Luen Yang and artist Dike Ruan will be joining forces once again to continue the story of Shang-Chi. Marvel’s greatest fighter is on an interesting journey and will have some interesting choices to make when Shang-Chi #1 launches this May.
After the events of his latest series, Shang-Chi has finally taken his place as the leader of the Five Weapons Society but using an evil secret organization as a force for good won’t be easy. And it’s about to get a lot harder when Shang-Chi’s fellow super heroes from Spider-Man to the X-Men to the Avengers, start to question his motives! Don’t miss what happens when Shang-Chi and his newfound family of warriors collide with the Marvel Universe’s biggest heroes!
Yang released the following statement:
I'm very, very thankful for all the support that we got for the Shang-Chi miniseries. I mean, the first two issues sold out. I'm thrilled that we get to continue the story of Shang-Chi and his siblings in the Five Weapons Society. We're going to show how Shang-Chi's brand-new role affects the rest of the Marvel Universe. We'll have him interact with old friends and new foes... and even old friends who become new foes. Dike Ruan and I are already hard at work. The stuff I've seen from Dike so far has been his best yet.
Fans will be able to read Shang-Chi #1 on May 19 with main cover art by Leinil Francis Yu.
