In preparation for the film, Marvel’s publishing arm put new emphasis on Shang-Chi — a hero who’d been languishing in the background of other people’s comics for the past few decades. What this meant in practice was the launch of a’s Gene Luen Yang, with art from Dike Ruan and Philip Tan; the series was intended to build a new space for the hero that placed his classic backstory front and center, while moving the character forward at the same time.
There are, of course, a number of differences between the comic book and movie Shang-Chi, although they’re somewhat cosmetic. The comic book incarnation isn’t related to the Ten Rings at all; in fact, that group is entirely unrelated to the Mandarin in Marvel’s comic book universe, with the latter known more for his status as an Iron Man villain who has ten magic rings of his own, thanks to the unlikely discovery of an alien spaceship.
