There are times when it seems like the weight of the world is on you. This can make or break many people. As it how that person deals with that stress talks to how strong minded they are. Some people would let it crush them and would wait too long to ask for help.
Other people would find it an opportunity to thrive. Sometimes, it is more than one thing that comes at you, and your problems do get compounded. As the question then becomes , can you deal with more than one problem? In Shang-Chi and The Ten Rings #2, Shang-Chi is still dealing with every villain in the Marvel Universe hunting him but he also has to help save an old friend.
We find Master Ling and Shang Chi at a hidden location, where he has decided to lock away the rings, hoping it would deter the villains searching for them, a plan Master Ling see fallacy in. We are taken back to the Five Weapons Society headquarters, where Leiko Wu is looking for help in finding her ex-husband, Clive Reston, who has enemies in every corner of the world. This leads the two to the grotto of Carlton Velcro, who wants revenge on Shang Chi and uses Clive’s kidnapping as a trap. Meanwhile, the Hand steals flight coordinates from Five Weapons Society headquarters. By issue’s end, the rings have been stolen and a key betrayal leaves Shang, powerless and close to death.
Overall, Shang-Chi and The Ten Rings #2 is a twisted second issue that makes this series even more intriguing. The story by Yang is exciting. The art by the creative team is enthralling. Altogether, a story that shows that those closest cannot be trusted sometimes.
