Second Opinion: Master of Kung Fu #1 (2002)

I've had a soft spot for the Shang Chi, Master of Kung Fu, ever since my dad bought me some issues of the first series back in the early eighties, so when the classic creative team of Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy reunited for a six issue limited series I naturally picked up the first issue. I must have disliked it because I didn't bother getting the rest of the series. Maybe I was just annoyed that Shang Chi wears a black leather jacket instead of his funky red and yellow costume because it's actually a pretty enjoyable read. The plot is a little weak, but the artwork is excellent, and in many ways it feels just like the Shang Chi of old. So why didn't I like it?
