Iron Fist: Heart of the Dragon #6 is filled with good art, good action, some stiff dialog, and the biggest gotcha ending I've seen in a very log time. I don't know what Marvel was thinking. The score will reflect the technical merits of the book, and not whether or not I agree with the story (I did not.) Read Full Review

For as messy as this mini's plot got at times, Heart of the Dragon #6 does an excellent job at slowing down the pace, allowing readers to catch their breath and sort things out. In fact, the events of this series could change the future of Danny Rand forever, should the story stick. Read Full Review

I am one of the view people in the world that actually enjoyed the Iron Fist TV series and with Marvel's propensity to manage to eke out every ounce of interest from its different media, I was a little surprised that this comes out now rather than then. Of course Okoye is also a major player currently, so mixing and matching sounds like a plan. The end is a kind of fraught and fighting book that can pack a punch, whether with a fist of iron or a spear of chi! Read Full Review

Though this is presented as an Iron Fist story, it's an ensemble cast focused on Okoye of the Dora Milaje, ending with Danny Rand losing his powers. Hama's character work is wonderful, but the plotting perplexes me. Read Full Review

Still a fan of the action and quirky characters but I'll admit this all leads to some division in opinion. Like where is Iron Fist going after this?

I'm really having a tough time deciding how to score this one. This was a good series that I would reread everytime a new issue came out and everytime I read it I liked it a bit more. Having reread the first five the was really looking forward to how it would wrap up. Honestly I really enjoyed this issue I think I would give it a nine but then what happened to end the book I just don't really like. I always keep an open mind and really look for the good in things so I'm hoping in time this will prove to be the beginning of some wonderful stories and I will then see the beauty in the last few panels. However for the time being I'm left wondering why. That being said this was a very enjoyable series

I enjoyed it to an extent but damn did they take it too far with the ending. Not sure where this is supposed to go.

A weird place to put the character, but I'm not too concerned. Also, Merlyn doesn't understand how comics work apparently. He thinks this is a sneak Okoye book? What an idiot.

Man, this is the second post about me. Why are you so obsessed with me? Don't you have friends, relatives or someone who likes you. You seem like you have no one and you desperately cling to me giving you attention. :))

Psycamorean - Jun 7, 2021

I have plenty of people who like me. If I wanted to make friends, I'd ignore or even encourage your dogshit opinions. However, I don't want to make nice with horribly bigoted people.

Merlyn - Jun 7, 2021

Sure, sure, the fact that you cling like a little kid to my attention speaks to how sociable you are. :)) Anyway, just wanted to tell you that you can keep insulting me, I'm done giving you attention. I realized what a sad, pathetic, lonely pile of garbage human being you are, all you do is attack people because that's how you make up for your loneliness. And I'm done entertaining you, especially after the stunt you pulled with lying about blocking me and deleting that comment section. Bye now!

Alright, I'll just keep on doing my thing!

Oh no, there might be editors' notes in the near future that say "Danny Rand no longer has the Iron Fist! See IF: Heart of the Dragon!" The damage done to Danny's character is bad enough; what's truly tragic is that notes like that might encourage more people to read this miniseries.

I should really stop being surprised by this; Marvel loves to hide big status quo changes in terrible titles. cf. Betsy Braddock and Kwannon getting split in the execrable "Hunt for Wolverine: Mystery in Madripoor" series.

Sneaking an Okoye book in one called "Iron Fist" is just bait and disrespectful to Iron Fist fans.

I am a huge Iron Fist fan, but this was just bad, I hope to erase this from my mind

It still personally blows my mind on how people will trash on DC Comics and complain about DC Comics sucking really badly and giving other DC Comic series 1 out of 10 because a character reads manga, yet they're silent about this.

Modern Marvel Comics is TRASH as hell, and its objectively true. How is Danny Rand "not worthy" of the Iron Fist yet somehow okoye is? At least DC Comics doesnt treat its characters like trash the majority of the time. At least DC Comics listens to the fans and cares for them.

In two years we have had Starlord turned bisexual because of Chris Pratt, Marvel compares Jordan Peterson to a Nazi for no reason, and now this. Jesus Christ, people are saying DC Comics needs better writers? Marvel Comics needs better writers and get rid of the hacks.

What a piece of trash this series is. Save your money and dont read this series. more

See, that's why we didn't see eye to eye at first, you thought I'm just attacking DC but I'm pretty fair towards Marvel, too, as you can see. :)) I agree with your points about Starlord (it's happening again with Black Cat, the woke crowd is already pushing it and Marvel added Black Cat in their future Pride book), the Peterson stuff was just cringe but that's Coates, you shouldn't expect better from him, he's a vile, vile human being.

Merlyn - Jun 3, 2021

Where I disagree is that DC has better writers than Marvel at this point. Marvel throws a lot more books on the market, that's their "strategy". So a lot of those books are trash, like this one. But they also have some books that are consistently very good like Immortal Hulk, Hellions, Eternals, Thor, even Venom or X-Men. I'm trying to think of DC books that are consistently good at this moment and I'm scratching my head.

Merlyn - Jun 3, 2021

If I'm generous I'd say Batman Urban Legends but that's not being fair, given that I only like the Red Hood story out of 4 stories and, say, The Joker. I don't know if Marvel necessarily has the better writers but it managed to put them on books that fit them very well. On the other hand, DC doesn't have so many cringey books like Marvel does, they're just mediocre.

Merlyn - Jun 3, 2021

Again, I'm more of a DC guy but I can't blindly support them when they're not delivering. I want better, I want better than Tynion on Batman, I want better than Bendis on JL, I want better than Taylor on Nightwing etc.

daspidaboy - Jun 3, 2021

I agree with you, and you are right. Brian Michael bendid ruined superman young justice and superman. Tom King ruined batman and nightwing, and more. I am glad that I hear your thoughts on james tynion batman and tom taylor nightwing even though I personally like those series

daspidaboy - Jun 3, 2021

Even if we have completely different opinions, I actually find it interesting to hear your thoughts on tynion using too much exposition in which I agree. I admit that there are some bad dc comics like suicide squad, teen titans and crime syndicate

daspidaboy - Jun 3, 2021

I am looking forward to hearing more of your opinions, amd If you're not happy with DC amd Marvel I would suggest manga or IDW Teenage mutant ninja turtles, or invincible and kick ass, or power rangers

Merlyn - Jun 3, 2021

I currently read Transformers and Power Rangers, also TMNT The Last Ronin though I think I'll drop that if the next issue doesn't come back to the level of the first issue. I'm not reading manga, not a big fan of it, except DragonBall but that's just because I miss the anime. :))
