The Seven Capital Cities of Heaven, Part 3
The kung fu tournament to end all tournaments continues in this, the third part of THE SEVEN CAPITAL CITIES OF HEAVEN. Davos and Crane Mother's conspiracy to crush K'un-Lun and the Iron Fist legacy once and for all springs to life. The Heroes for Hire continue tracking the rogue Hydra cell across the snow-swept Himalayas. The wicked Bride of Nine Spiders spins her terrible web. America continues to fall in love with Fat Cobra. And Danny Rand returns to the fight, armed now with the long-lost life story of Orson Randall, the Last Iron Fist. Will he be too late?
I can't say this enough: The Immortal Iron Fist is one of the top five best books on the shelves month in and month out. The scripts are top-notch, the art matches perfectly, and the Iron Fist has slowly transformed into a character I'm actually excited to read about every issue. Honestly, I feel like we're in the middle of a run that will be looked back upon decades from now as a classic. There have only been ten issues, find a trade paperback or an eBay auction. I'm not kidding. Read Full Review
If you aren't reading this book, I urge you to try it; if you are reading it, expect to enjoy another highly entertaining issue. Immortal Iron Fist is the sleeper hit that deserves a bigger audience, and hopefully it will find one. Read Full Review
It's still Iron Fist and a lackluster issue of Iron Fist is still better than just about any book out there. On the plus side, all the plots are building to what should be an explosive climax over the next two issues. Read Full Review
Prelude:
The Seven Capital Cities have been great so far. Let's see if Brubaker, Fraction and Aja can keep that up in this third part.
The Good:
Love the Wendell part of the story.
The tournament aspect is still fun to read.
I like how people are reacting to Danny's absence.
Likewise, it's great seeing the inner workings in K'un-Lun society.
The Hydra and Heroes for Hire subplots retain their interest.
Aja and Kano bring some great art to the table.
The Bad:
Nothing.
Conclusion:
Brubaker and Fraction take Immortal Iron Fist to new heights in this issue. One thing that the series needs to be commended on, is it's ability to juggle mult more
Danny begins to make his way back to Kun Lun after meeting with Orson’s biographer in France while Xao tries to intercept him and Lei-Kung plots against Yu-Ti with Orson’s granddaughter caught in the middle. The Wendell and Davos flashbacks are interesting too
