Before this series came out, I have no idea who David Aja, artist is but after that first issue, I knew regardless of the quality of story, I would stop by for issue 2 and the surprise here is that writers, Matt and Ed decided that it is their turn to shine. And so we get a comic where all creators are going all out to impress we the readers thus resulting in an entertaining read!This book opens with a style that is soon to be recurring throughout its 2-year-plus run with flashbacks to other Iron Fists and so it is great that we get a glimpse of hundreds of years ago somewhere in China where pirates come to do a little raiding by sea only to encounter a female Iron Fist ...
But hey Rand is the star so let's not forget him although his first appearance here is more akin to a falling star as we see him tumble through the skies right through some construction before realizing ain't no way he is able to stay conscious
SPOILER ALERT
Loved also the way that other super heroes pop up in this comic book as part of the supporting cast without the need to publicize on the cover. So we see Luke Cage dropping by to check up on a recovering Danny and loved, loved, loved the banter between the two of them over Chinese takeaway
However, as if that wasn't tough enough, we see moves of a hostile company takeover on Danny's Rand Inc by someone who is possibly linked or hired on Hydra goons. So Danny has yet another nightmare on his shoulders and one where he couldn't just karate-chop it away
Now if you thought that was enough of a revelation ... well it isn't according to our writers as we see yet another new character making his way into USA only to encounter trouble! SPOILER ALERT and what he uses to help himself is sure to make everyone reading this, fans new and old gasp in surprise!
Ratings: 7/10
