The Last Iron Fist Story: Part 6
Orson Randall, the only man who holds all the answers to Danny Rand's questions about the legacy of the Iron Fist, is being hunted by the reincarnated reinvigorated, and always wicked Steel Serpent. Hydra, manipulated by an ancient evil they're only beginning to understand, is in the process of dismantling the Rand corporate empire. Both events have been facilitated by a betrayal from within, and both events might spell the end of the mystical city of K'un L'un once and for all.
This is the final chapter of "The Last Iron Fist Story." Surely nothing terrible or tragic will happen, right?
Iron Fist #6 was simply an excellent read. This title is a wonderful balance of action and drama. It also boasts equally talented writers and artist on the creative team. Iron Fist is one of the most balanced titles you will read. If you still haven't given this title a try then definitely do so. I think that most readers will find that Iron Fist satisfies action freaks as well as fans of character and dialogue driven storylines. Read Full Review
Immortal Iron Fist has succeeded in resurrecting the martial arts superhero genre from its 1970s heydey without ever succumbing to the temptation to make itself camp or self-referential, giving the character of Danny Rand a new lease of life in the Marvel Universe and proving that it's possible to make kung-fu chopsocky seriously fun for a modern audience. The teasers for the next arc that we get at the end of this issue make me eager to see if Brubaker, Fraction and Aja can take the book to the next level, with an epic martial arts tournament which promises to pay homage to classic movies like Enter The Dragon, with a twist of superheroics and historical fantasy. I'll be there. Read Full Review
Prelude:
It's the last issue of "The Last Iron Fist Story" (I doubt it), so let's see how Fraction and Brubaker go with finish this arc.
The Good:
Orson's death is done well and sets up Danny for future stories. Hell, Orson was generally great this issue.
I do like this cliffhanger we have here.
David Aja has some utterly amazing art here.
The Bad:
Nothing.
Conclusion:
An amazing conclusion to this first arc. A great story in of itself but I can't wait to see what Fraction and Brubaker have prepared next.
