While Wong's plot took a while to ease into it, Iron Fist #3 is the biggest issue of the series, combining origin with plot advancement, character development, and intense action sequences. Read Full Review

Yg and Chen offer some great visuals throughout the issue. The story is filled with great action and conflict and the art nails the emotion, danger and tension of it perfectly. Read Full Review

The art in Iron Fist #3 is generally good (ignoring the style inconsistencies). The story gets the job done with adequate emotional beats and no surprises. And the end result is a passable martial arts story with mystical elements, none of which have any connection to K'un-Lun or the legend of the Iron Fist. Read Full Review

Lot of cool drama going on, though the art can get a little muddy.
I can't really say that I'm following what's happening 100% other than it sounds cool "my family's master sword!".
The series is brimming with potential and I hope it finds it's footing soon, though if all we get are these five issues, that's a lot for two issues to fix.
I wish the current cast had more development and by the end, I see we're throwing more characters into the kitchen sink.

A mediocre waste of time -- not even bad enough to get riled up about.

this is just okay to be honest.

I wouldn't say it's horrible but, it's very bland. It's got some cliche dialogue. It looks good and has a lot of action but, not much to make me care.

Three steps forward, two steps back. Issue 3 suffers from sub-par art and scripting.

After issue #2 I was optimistice about where this series was going. Alas. While the STORY issue #3 was trying to tell was good, the art and script were poorly exectuted. There are 2 pencilers, and 4 inkers on this issues, and it shows. The art is highly inconsistent; some panels are fine, others feature bizarre facial expression or physical distortions. Sean Chen is an excellent artist, but you wouldn't know it from these pages. Michael Yg, is new to me, and the only work of his I can find is on Iron Fist. I don't think it would be fair to judge him from this comic because it's obvious that multiple inkers have left their mark on the pages. Layout and composition are ok, but page-turn reveals and splash pages are utterly let down by the quality of the art. Check out the demon reveal, or when Lin Li mashes the remaining sword shards into is arms, or when Lin Li, Mei Min, and Ying Yi team up to takee on the demon. You'll see what I mean. Powerful scenes that fail in execution.

While I still think the story is good, the script for issue #3 took a turn for the worse. The scene transitions work well, a flash back leading into a scene with the villian, which blended well into a scene with Lin Li. The dialogue is inconsistent, in some places capturing the characters' voices perfectly, in others, it's cliched. Lines like "You're not her real Dad!", and "This is my family's sword. My birthright. My Destiny", and several more landed like a fart in church. There was some good character work - Lin Li's rival Ying Yi joining the fight against the demon, revealing him as more than a one-note bully.

I would like to have seen this comic with a single artist and inker, I think it would have made a huge difference. Still optomisitc about the series, but this issue was a stinker. more

A bad and boring book. I dropped this one after this issue.
