The good: Power Man and Iron Fist back together again, in the buddy book I was hoping for. David Walker has spent a lot of time in this book building up a big supporting cast.
The bad: Power Man and Iron Fist feel more like the supporting cast and the supporting cast is the lead. There's just too much going on here that Luke and Danny feel like they get fit in where there's room.
I've complained before about the current way Marvel likes to do series. Hire a creative team, give them a year to a year and a half to tell a story, cancel the book. Many Marvel books seem to produce about three trades before cancellation and reboot. I wish they'd just publish books like the good old days. Start a book, when that team leaves, bring on another to pick up the story where it left off. Just as you get yourself invested in a series, it's over, it starts fresh with a new objective, a new cast, a new purpose. There are some of us who do enjoy a little continuity here.
Overall, this series was a great deal of fun. Even though this was my least favorite volume, I still highly recommend it. This is the Luke and Danny I could read until the end of time.
