So Deadpool and Shang-Chi are both apparently involuntary cannibals if the first issue even remotely happened. The unnecessary racism in the third story was disappointing.

Pretty generic comic. Not much to the stories, the featured characters aren't showcased very well, and it just isn't very entertaining overall. This is lackluster and I don't recommend it at all. Some of the art is neat, but generally this feels like a missed opportunity and like it was done by an amateur with generic characters, not a comedic icon like Deadpool or a martial arts master like Shang-Chi. Don't bother with this one.

This one was really out there - four stories: 1). Shang-Chi (SC) and Deadpool (D) in some kind of 'death race' - not sure what the motivation for SC to be in it would be; 2). the son of a former opponent seeks vengeance; 3). SC confronts his 'brother' M'Nai (now Midnight Sun) and 4). an origin story by Paul Gulacy. A book that is sure to appeal to SC fans!

Meh..

This is a "I wrote this when I was having lunch some day with jokes I've heard from old tv shows and mom/dad and here, use this to make a comic" kinda thing.

Not that fun to read, and don't expect to see too much Shang-Chi as you know him.
