It is here that these cities send their Immortal Warriors to compete against one another in a combat tournament to end all tournaments, and it is here that Daniel Rand was spirited to in his darkest hour. Generations of mystical war traditions await their chance to prove they have the greatest kung-fu - to the Immortal Iron Fist! Plus: The Book of Iron Fist, written on parchment made from the dragon scales of Shou-Lao the Undying, tells the life stories and kung-fu secrets of every man and woman ever to hold the mantle of the Immortal Iron Fist - except two. One, Danny Rand, the current Iron Fist and the possessor of this most remarkable book. The other was Orson Randall, the Golden Age Iron Fist, and he died as he lived: trying to outrun the Iron Fist legacy. And if Danny hopes to escape a similar fate, he'll have to track down Orson's long-lost story and learn the mysteries within before it's too late. Collects Immortal Iron Fist #8-14 and Annual #1.

 Rating:  - Finally... Iron Fist done right!If you grew up during the 1970's Kung Fu craze you will love this series. If you grew up during the 1980's ninja craze you will love this series. If you grew up with Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter II in the 1990's you will love this series. Iron Fist has been a hit and miss character in the Marvel Universe for about 30 years. His longest run was as friend and partner to Luke Cage in the Power Man & Iron Fist series. The current Immortal Iron Fist takes the character in a new direction and ... Read More Rating:  - Iron Fist 2.0Iron Fist has never been an A-list character. Like Shang Chi the Master of Kung Fu, Iron Fist had an uneventful run before hitting his groove as the partner of Luke Cage as a Hero for Hire. Cut in the mould of Bruce Wayne (Batman) and Oliver Queen (Green Arrow) - ergo, the playboy with a lot of money and superpowers, blonde Daniel Rand has never really matched the former two in personality. This new chapter of Iron Fist however, tries to retool Iron Fist by tapping into his mystic ...

A must read for whoever love superheroes and martial arts Rating: - More than meets the eyeThe principle thing that makes me give this book 5 stars is what it isn't. It isn't typical superhero fare, it hasn't typical superhero art and when you see the story is going to end with the typical "death match with the evil baddie getting his comeuppance", it doesn't. Fraction is the writer on the rise at Marvel Comics and Brubaker is, well, Brubaker. He's the guy that killed off Steve Rogers and is still selling the book to fans (like me) who cannot get enough of it. In this tale, ... Read More Rating: - You Just Don't Mess with the Iron FistLet me start out by saying that Matt Fraction has a hell of a career ahead of him. Boy can this guy write! He's gained so much popularity with Marvel due to his craft that he's even leaving Iron Fist (unfortunately) to go write on X-Men (Yeah!). And this Aja artist is something else too. Boy can he draw the kung-fu type of story that kung-fu fanatics like! His picture renderings of Fraction's words are amazing. This volume of stories, not to give away too much, focuses on the battles being waged ... Read More
