Rated T+
This issue is everything I was hoping for when the creators mentioned a Kumite style battle happening on an island far away. The art is outstanding again. The pacing is excellent. If you haven't been reading Iron Fist do yourself a favor and go out and buy this issue. You will not be disappointed. Read Full Review
With each issue of Iron Fist, the series keeps getting better and better. Each introduction of a new master leaves the reader with intrigue and questions of what they bring to the fight and how or if Danny will be able to defeat them. Brisson also is creatinga great story behind the Trial of the Seven Masters that has double crossings and other sneaky business going behind the scenes of the battles. The art team is just fantastic and bring these brutal fight scenes to life. Iron Fist is definitely not a series to miss if you dig Bruce Lee or old Kung-Fu movies you will adore Iron Fist #3!

Iron Fist #3 is jam packed with action from start to finish. Read Full Review
Having two kind of dark Iron Fist runs back to back is a bit much for me, especially since I know that Danny Rand can and has done more. That said, Iron Fist #3 is still an entertaining and hard knuckled look into a more visceral side of the Marvel Universe. Read Full Review
This series has me dialed in. Mike Perkins is a boss. Even though the first comic didn't grab me with the story, the art always delivers in this series. I love the Mortal Kombat style tournaments in Iron Fist. They are just fun to read.
I was very skeptical of this series at the beginning, but this has turned out to be a lot of fun. I really liked this issue. I love the art especially in the fight scenes. There is also some hints of a mystery surrounding this tournament going on. Definitely a fun read.
Another solid issue. The art is great and the story is intriguing. I Look forward to reading the next one.
SCORE: 7.2
Choshin grabs the villain ball and sabotages Danny's trial progress. I see more shortcomings than strengths in the creators' work here. Ed Brisson's plot leans toward "kung fu cliché-fest" rather than "loving homage" and Mike Perkins' hyper-realistic art works well for fight scenes but gets glitchy and unnatural when portraying talking heads. (The cliffhanger ending is also hobbled by some artistic muddiness at the worst possible time.) This issue does a fine job of scratching the kung fu itch, but it's not doing so in a way I find particularly memorable.
