I'm pretty sure this is the best line MODOK has ever uttered. If it isn't, its definitely on the list.
I really enjoyed Yang's modernization of Shang-Chi's character and mythos, and now that all the hard work is done? It's time to play.
Yang takes us on a brief tour of the Marvel universe to show how such a drastic change in leadership of the 5 Weapon Society affects everyone, from your local neighborhoods to the wealthy elites, and it's so much fun.
Campy spy-themed weapon auctions, street level brawls, space-faring trips to the Negative Zone, duels between lightning gods, it's tough to make all of this fun and feel like it all belongs in the same book, but Volume 2 pulls it off by keeping a consistent tone and artstyle (which, by the way, is all incredible thanks to Dike Ruan)!
The book isn't devoid of substance though either. Yang continues to offer some great social commentary as Shang continues to steer the 5 Weapon Society in a more righteous direction, ripping out the racist ideologies of his father, and bringing old family members back into the fold. Yang even addresses the fact that not every member of a criminal empire is going to be a fan of their organization going in a more legal direction. It makes for some great drama in-between all the action and I'm genuinely looking forward to what happens next! I really needed a mood booster after the month I've had, and this book more than provided that. Can't recommend this series enough.
