SHANG-CHI #1 - Interviews with Writer Gene Luen Yang and Artist Philip Tan

[Ron POCCulture]

Hey guys - since Shang-Chi #1 drops today, I thought you might appreciate my extensive coverage of the book. As an Asian-American writer and a huge fan of Gene Luen Yang, I'm extremely hyped for the book!

If you're interested, check out my in-depth 2 part interview with Gene Luen Yang where he talks about the history of Fu Manchu, the inspirations behind the Five Weapons Society and answers my question about whether there's any synergy between his book and the upcoming Marvel Studios film (spoiler - there isn't really beyond the fact that Yang is a big fan of Simu Liu):

Below is my NON-SPOILER review of issue #1, which I think sets things up for the best Shang-Chi story ever!
