It is here that these cities send their Immortal Warriors to compete against one another in a combat tournament to end all tournaments...and it is here that Daniel Rand was spirited to in his darkest hour. Generations of mystical war traditions await their chance to prove they have the greatest kung fu...to The Immortal Iron Fist! Collects Immortal Iron Fist #8-14, Annual #1. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Iron Fist 2.0Iron Fist has never been an A-list character. Like Shang Chi the Master of Kung Fu, Iron Fist had an uneventful run before hitting his groove as the partner of Luke Cage as a Hero for Hire. Cut in the mould of Bruce Wayne (Batman) and Oliver Queen (Green Arrow) - ergo, the playboy with a lot of money and superpowers, blonde Daniel Rand has never really matched the former two in personality. This new chapter of Iron Fist however, tries to retool Iron Fist by tapping into his mystic ...

A must read for whoever love superheroes and martial arts Rating:  - More than meets the eyeThe principle thing that makes me give this book 5 stars is what it isn't. It isn't typical superhero fare, it hasn't typical superhero art and when you see the story is going to end with the typical "death match with the evil baddie getting his comeuppance", it doesn't.

He's gained so much popularity with Marvel due to his craft that he's even leaving Iron Fist (unfortunately) to go write on X-Men (Yeah!). And this Aja artist is something else too. Boy can he draw the kung-fu type of story that kung-fu fanatics like! His picture renderings of Fraction's words are amazing. This volume of stories, not to give away too much, focuses on the battles being waged ... Read More Rating: - Unbelievably goodSeriously, who would have thought that a lower-tier character like Iron Fist would ever have gotten his own series that is this good? The writing team of Ed Brubaker (Captain America, Daredevil) and Matt Fraction (Punisher War Journal, The Order) deliver a title that combines nods to the 70's kung-fu era that helped birth the character, and just plain great storytelling. The Seven Capital Cities of Heaven, the second collected volume of Brubaker and Fraction's run on Immortal Iron Fist, finds Danny "Iron ... Read More |
