Rating: - Iron Fist Goes From Lame to Damn Respectable
First off, we love Matt Fraction - which is why we interviewed him a while back. Now that we've come clean on that:
Iron Fist was always a lame superhero; created by Marvel in response to the Bruce Lee craze in the 1970s. He wore the green pajama bottoms and appeared along side the more complex and always more interesting Luke Cage. Then he'd make rather pathetic guest appearances on Marvel Team-Up. He even died at some point - and then came back to life. Never liked him (and he was ... Read More
Rating: - The First Iron Fist Story
Writers Matt Fraction (CASANOVA) and Ed Brubaker (GOTHAM CENTRAL) team up to reinvent Danny Rand, known to Marvel Comics fans as the Immortal Iron Fist. Iron Fist has existed for a long time in the Marvel Universe, along with friends and allies Luke Cage, Colleen Wing, and Misty Knight, but Fraction and Brubaker have set out to create an entire mythos to fit into Danny's past, and they are met with stunning success.
In the book, we are introduced to the concept that Danny is not the ... Read More
Rating: - Confusing, but has potential
The earlier parts of the novel are confusing, but definitely worth it if you're not bothered by having to reread a few pages. Very much looking forward to the next volume in the series.
Rating: - Makes ME wanna challenge Shou Lao the Undying!
My favorite obscure Marvel character Iron Fist makes his return to comics in this book. Filled with superhero mysticism and crazy kung fu action, the stories contained within hold up well and deliver plenty of plot and drama. Billionaire superhero Danny Rand learns that he was not the first Iron Fist, and that there is more to his power than just punching through steel walls. A rich history and an exciting new universe await readers opening "The Immortal Iron Fist" for the first time...it won't disappoint.
Rating: - Love It.
I love comic books. But even someone who didn't would probably love the Immortal Iron Fist. To be honest, I didn't know a thing about Iron Fist outside his silly costume and rather obvious powers before I read this. And now he's one of my favorite characters. The art is fantastic and the story is extremely well written.
If only they could take some of their other characters and give them new life the way they did with Iron Fist. I'll definitely be following up on this one.
