While Xu Xialing took over the family business in Marvel Studios’ Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, in comic books it is her brother Shang-Chi that has taken over their father’s evil empire. And as you can imagine, the other members of the family have some issues with his management.
In February 2’s Shang-Chi #8 (opens in new tab), Shang-Chi is in the midst of a family feud worse than anything even Steve Harvey could imagine. Between his sister Zhilan (Sister Staff), his recently-returned mother Jiang li, and his maternal grandfather Chieftain Xin, he is the last person they want to be in charge.
Even his other sister, Esme (Sister Dagger, whom his MCU sister Xu Xialing is based on), doesn’t think he’s right for role – but she’s loyal to the job, whoever fills the position.
Check out this preview of Shang-Chi #8 by Gene Luen Yang and Dike Ruan to see the words and the action:
