Wolverine First Class #9 (2009)

Sabretooth kidnaps Kitty Pryde for ransom.  Wolverine asks Shang Chi for help rescuing her.  Chi refuses to help him fight, but teaches him some karate.

OK.  There is a lot wrong here.  Like, why wouldn’t all the X-Men help?  Why is Chi unwilling to help save an innocent life?  And why is Sabretooth being such a dick just for money?  The story tries to answer those questions but the answers are weak an not true to character.

Not a great effort here.
