Released June 1987
Action Force #17
Synopsis
"Meditations in Red" confirms not only the existence of Shang-Chi in Earth-120185, but also the existence of Batroc, Iron Fist, and Elektra through Quick Kick's mention of them in the story. However, since this story was done only because Action Force began reprinting the Shang-Chi stories with issue #18, it is unknown if this story is canonical with Earth-91274, the continuity of the G.I. Joe and Transformers comics solely published in the US. The histories of Earth-120185's Shang-Chi (and related characters), along with Iron Fist, Elektra, and Batroc may vary from Earth-616 as they do not play a prominent role (nor are ever mentioned again) in the adventures of Action Force or Transformers UK. After this issue, Shang-Chi stories would run from Action Force #18 to #29, reprinting only #29 to #31.
