Rated T+
These Damnnation tie-in issues were a fun little side plot, but there wasn't much depth to keep me fully engaged. The action sequences were still enjoyable to look at and the plot was interesting enough to keep me coming back next issue. All in all it was a good detour but I hope the next arc has a bit more to keep me reading. Read Full Review
I have really liked this Iron Fist series since it started and it has been one of my favoriteMarvel Comics on the shelves. I hate to see it go out like this. It feels like Ed Brisson had some bigger ideas that had to get smashed together and or sidelined. It is not that Iron Fist #80 is bad, but I feel like it could have been so much more if given more time. So, that being said Iron Fist #80 does leave Danny Rand in an interesting place in his life. I will be excited to see if/when he gets a new series if these plot points are picked back up. Plus Danny still has to help save Las Vegas in Doctor Strange: Damnation #4. Read Full Review
Iron Fist #80 isnt exactly the finale that this series deserved considering what it was at its peak. Damnation dragged the final few issues into an underwhelming arc that stretches for meaning and relevance to Danny Rand. That said, this final issue was certainly fun regardless, and Ed Brisson, Damian Couceiro, and Andy Troy do a good job of making this an issue worth reading. Check it out. Read Full Review
There's no real tension in the battle as the stakes or flow of combat are never entirely clear. Sacrifices don't mean much from people already living in hell. To top it all off, this is a martial arts comic in which the action is hardly coherent outside of captions naming specific moves. It's a bad look. Read Full Review
Pretty decent story. I think the Damnation tie in's didn't really hurt Iron Fist and actually spawned an interesting story. It's just a shame that this is the end of this series.
The Iron Fist conflict collapses into the laziest possible setup: All the heroes versus a dozen anonymous demons in a battle royale. The art does the best storytelling it can, but it's held back by an appallingly cheap and cliched story. Two major plot developments that should rightfully have been discarded as "nah, that's too easy" are played depressingly straight. It's a decent comic, but as a resolution for the arc and a finale for the series, it's pretty sad.
