I remember promos for this story (first time I ever heard of Shang-Chi) but this particular issue was the only copy I was able to find at the local grocery store back then. I believe this was also the first of Carlos Pacheco's (I pronounced it Pa-CHEE-O back then...lol) work I purchased. Zero Tolerance was where I slowly started to lose interest in the X-titles (maybe comics overall) but Pacheo's art kept me buying a lot longer than the title alone should've. He ended up being among my favorite post-Joe Mad X-artists along with Salvador Larrocca.
Great video, I remember this being the Kingpin's return form the"dead". I always thought it was strange he was coming back in the X-Men book. A solid debut for Carlos Pacheco. I'm sure you covered the 1st book, you don't just jump in the middle of a story. I like that. I have to go back and watch the 1st book.I always loved Sebastian Shaw. As powerful as he is,he prefers to play the hands off too good to fight role. I think Pacheco was wasted on the stories he penciled for his debut. Not the best storylines for such a great artist.

I remember nothing about Zero Tolerance even though I read the core X titles at the time. That says something.

Yes, I've covered the first couple of parts too, Danny.
Ha…No more Shang-Chi
Leave him in retirement!
