More Iron Fist. Less Immortal Weapons.

Now I remember why I had put this off for so long... I had already read the first 5 issues. :lol:

Kind of makes you wonder why I bought the hardcover instead of just buying the 6th issue. :?

Great book, better than I remember it being but I fucking HATE the coloring.

Next obviously...

All-Star Superman Volume 2

You can have the one shots with the shitty artists and bad stories.

I'll take the main story.

:lol:


:smt011

Orson Randall and the Immortal Weapons are what has made Iron Fist something worth reading. Hell, before Swierczynski took over, Danny was far and away the weakest part of the series. You haven't even gotten to the good parts with Danny yet.

Orson Randall, yes. And I loved the Immortal Weapons WITHIN the main story. I just don't like devoting one shots to them.

And I'm up to date with the book, what do you mean? :?

Fat Cobra is going to be amazing.

I haven't seen anyone yet who even knows who that person is who's writing the second issue.

The Swierczynski/Forman backups will make each issue worth it though. Foreman finally seemed to settle in the last couple of issues of the last arc.

The way you talked about it seemed like you were reading it in trades/hc's.

I buy and have always bought Iron Fist for Danny. Danny's one of my favorite characters ever. Orson is awesome though.

I agree with this. I completely disagree with Danny being the weakest part of the book..

Orson was right up there though. I even got this of him, that's how much I like him!

Which contains...

The Pirate Queen of Pinghai Bay
The Story of the Iron Fist Bei Bang-Wen
Happy Birthday Danny
Orson Randall and The Green Mist of Death
The Origin of Danny Rand

Now I'll give you Origin of Danny Rand as a waste of time. Presenting a reprint with a few bookend pages as something new was bullshit on Marvel's part, but the rest of that book is good stuff. Happy Birthday Danny alone makes that book full of awesome.

That was about the only good part of it, though. If I wanted that, I could've just bought the actual comic.

The Pirate Queen of Pinghai Bay sucked.
The Story of the Iron Fist Bei Wang-Wen sucked.
Orson Randall and The Green Mist of Death was alright, only because it was Orson, but the story itself wasn't all that great.

Yeah, the 3rd Iron Fist trade sucked. It was no where near the quality of the first two.
