Here we go again. Another volume one. Jesus, Marvel, stop it already. How many Iron Fist Volume 1s do you need to publish?
Anyway, Iron Fist is back with a new creative team, a new vision, a new series. I highly enjoyed this look into the life of Danny Rand. It's the first time since Ed Brubaker brought the character to A List status that I've felt he's getting an A List creative team. This story could very easily have been the natural continuation of what Brubaker was doing. It's a shame it took us this long to right the sail of Iron Fist.
The story itself is quite simple. Danny's chi is fading. He's looking to prove he's still worthy of being Iron Fist. He ends up on a mysterious island with ties to K'un-Lun and battles the Seven Masters of the Island in a plot that's not exactly what he thinks it is (because what comic story ever is?) Danny is kick ass and so is this tale. I'm now anxiously awaiting volume 2.
