PiercingMetal Thoughts: While I’ve slowed down my traditional collecting practices, I’ve often mentioned how I was a first-issue collector and a one-shot collector so I might be grabbing a copy of this one when May rolls around. I don’t know many of the creators outside of Creees who I often see at the Wintercon and NYCC so I’d be curious to see his take on Shang-Chi. I’ll wrap this announcement up now and ask what you readers think about it all. Will you be purchasing? Chime in down below in the comments section and I’ll see you next time. Stay safe out there and wear a mask. Ciao.
