Apr 23, 2017There's real thought behind the words and actions of each and every character and it all seems to be coming together in a way that addresses the outcry about the series, except for the casting choices and strives to make the character relevant in today's society. Brisson gets bonus points for letting us get to see the minorities whose culture is being appropriated by Iron Fist speak out about how they feel about it in subtext-laden conversations that the proctors of the "Seven Trials" have about Danny Rand and his rights to the Iron Fist mantle.

Word Of The Nerd - Brent Jackson
Apr 06, 2017Maybe it is because I have been watching old Kung-Fu movies on Netflix recently or I have been listening to too much Wu-Tang Clan but this issue is exactly what I am looking for right now in an Iron Fist book. We get a great classic set up of Danny having to battle his way through seven different masters of Kung-Fu each with their own style, design, and name, much like the classic films Five Deadly Venoms (Five Venoms), The Mystery of Chess Boxing, and The Five Elements of Ninjas, along with some other great Kung-Fu movie tropes, it is just fantastic having this series embrace those roots.

Apr 06, 2017After a dull, grim debut issue that seemed a little too eager to pattern itself after the Netflix series, Iron Fist #2 is able to get back in touch with what makes Danny Rand an appealing character. Read Full Review

Apr 05, 2017A good outing that fleshes out Iron Fist's world with some good action too. Unfortunately the exposition is laid on too thickly! Read Full Review

Apr 08, 2017The new Iron Fist comic is fun so far, but in a rather low key, off-brand kind of way. It's built on the foundations of greatness past, but has yet to spark its own greatness. Read Full Review

Apr 10, 2017There is nothing here really to sink your teeth into to bring you coming back for more. I am slightly interested in the Mortal Kombat Kung Fu matches. If they were a little less one sided. Iron Fist should have some defense he shouldn't have to rely on a miracle finish at the last second. This still has potential. Read Full Review

Surprisingly good. Better than the first issue. Gives us a hint of what we can expect for the rest of the arc, and great to see Danny getting his mojo back, he was just depressing in the first issue.

I thought the art got a major upgrade in this issue but the story didn't. It feels like the bulk of the issue doesn't even have Iron Fist involved. The battle at the end is pretty cool but more Danny Rand the better.

the art was light years better than last issue, but still not exactly my style. the story is getting at least a bit interesting too. I'll hang around for another issue or two I suppose.

Danny gets through 1-1/3 of seven kung-fu duels along with a *lot* of yackety-yak from his hosts. Several references to the events of "Immortal Iron Fist" tempt one into drawing inevitably unfavorable comparisons between the two series. This issue has pacing problems, some underwhelming kung-fu, and so. much. talking. There's still space to turn it around, and there are some tempting mysteries in the air that could develop into greatness if treated properly.

4.0
Gorgeous, strong coloring by Andy Troy really separates the scenes well. Perkins tosses on some decent pencils. The plot is old, 'kung fu master is compelled to remote and mysterious island and tested. The stakes? His title! His life!?'. Not a strong story to pull out of the gates with.
