About the episode

Fighting dragons, an Asian-American superhero, and Tony Leung in fingerless gloves, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has blessed audiences with many gifts. But it's also offered an opportunity for the Marvel Cinematic Universe to retcon troubling aspects of its history (here's looking at you, Mandarin). On this week's episode, Dave and guest host Maggie Mae Fish are joined by Marvel visionary Gene Luen Yang for a look at Marvel's kung-fu history, the revival of Shang-Chi, and the future of Asian-American comic storytelling.
