Shang-Chi has been wrestling with the responsibility of living in two worlds, one he wanted to fully embrace and another he hoped to leave behind. Even though the clash and outcomes between these two seemed inevitable, the series’ conclusion stops short of making it seem “predictable,” at least in a negative sense. Shang-Chi #5 may not be the series’ most visually impressive chapter or its best paced, but it is a fitting end to an even better series.
