Spider-Island: Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #1
This is a Shang-Chi comic, make no mistake about it. Though it might be tied to the Spider-Island event stemming from Marvelâs flagship character, this is an independently styled comic in almost every respect. Antony Johnston has touted this mini as something that completely stands alone and, as a reviewer who is not reading Spider-Island, I can attest to this autonomous vibe. This book is just a wacky kung fu mystery, and a damn good one at that.
Shang-Chi is not the most popular nor relevant character in the Marvel stable. A kung fu exploitation character who barely made it into the 80s, many fans state their love and yet still wonât vote with their wallets for a book headlining this master of the deadly arts. Maybe thatâs because not all of the books featuring Shang-Chi have been any good. If thatâs been holding you back then prepare to invest $2.99 this week because Johnston delivers one of the most enjoyable and believable Shang-Chi depictions ever. The captioned narrative doesnât try to ape any sort of pulp noir or gritty comics; we are simply given access into Shang-Chiâs mind and the results are fantastic. This voice over catches people up on the basics of this character, it shows his connection to the main premise of the event tale, and then it takes this story forward in leaps and bounds. Shang-Chi finally reads like a real man and shows how he can carry an entire mini on his own back.
The heart of this tale isnât Spider-Island-centric. It uses that premise to springboard into a darker mystery set within the parameters of New York. The motivations behind the Bride of Nine Spiders and her interaction with Iron Fist arenât clear, but they make for great action set pieces. Johnston applies plenty of kung fu moves to his script. While it is a method stolen from the Matt Fraction/Ed Brubaker/David Aja run on âThe Immortal Iron Fist,â it is very effectively used here. Johnston doesnât try to go for the snarky cool moves of the previous title and instead delivers some very classically mystical sounding noun groups.
