SABRETOOTH ROUND TWO Part 1
SABRETOOTH first slashed his way into the pages of Marvel comics back in IRON FIST #14 and never looked back. But now Danny Rand, the legendary Iron Fist, has a problem only Sabretooth can help him solve. Something is threatening the very existence of K'un-Lun, and the Iron Fist must do whatever he can to protect it, even if it means convincing his old enemy to fight by his side. Will mutant claws and crane kicks be enough to save K'un-Lun? PLUS: Includes 3 bonus MARVEL PRIMER PAGES! Story by Robbie Thompson and art by Mark Bagley!
Rated T+
Iron Fist shows no signs of slowing down in Marvel Legacy. In fact, it looks to still be getting better. This title is quickly rising to the top of Marvels offerings in terms of quality, and I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good Kung Fu comic. Read Full Review
The Iron Fist team of Brisson, Perkins, Troy, and Lanham continue to kick ass in this issue. This is more of a set up issue but it is a good one. The team give you a couple of teases for the future, with a good helping of the past to catch people up who want to jump on. Read Full Review
This series may have reverted to its classic numbering, but little has actually changed with the start of Marvel Legacy. That's mostly a good thing. Read Full Review
Gritty and dark with explosive action and detailed sequences, Mike Perkins draws a very convincing Kung-Fu comic. Read Full Review
All in all, I'm dissatisfied with this book on a number of levels, as I had to read a couple of times to make sense of the art, and even then, I've had to make some assumptions about what the creators seem to be conveying. Iron Fist #73 isn't an overtly bad comic book, but it's got some fundamental problems that are hard to ignore. Read Full Review
Iron fist continues to be a solid read with great art. The fight scenes in this book are some of the best fight scenes in all of comics. This series has been consistently good and this issue is no different.
IRON FIST #73 was another great issue starring my favorite Marvel hero (Iron Fist, not Sabretooth) and featuring one of my favorite Marvel villians (the surprise one at the end of the issue, not Sabretooth). There was, also, a good story, nice art and a fight scene that was (probably unintentionally) reminiscent of John Carpenter's THEY LIVE (with Danny Rand and Victor Creed standing in for Roddy Piper and Keith David). Good stuff.
SCORE: 8.2
Unimpressive villain. Unconvincing connection. Still better than other Iron Fist restarts of late.!
Choshin comes to New York and Danny recruits Sabretooth to help him solve an Important Burglary. You better believe these plots are connected. Ed Brisson holds my attention by salvaging the best bits of his Liu Shi storyline; on the other hand, he and Mike Perkins conspire to turn Danny and Sabretooth's pre-team-up brawl into an epically forgettable formality. This particular issue drags the title back down to nurturing the seeds of greatness. This arc might do amazing things in future issues, but its outset is pretty blasé.
