Iron Fist #6

Self-exploration, a great buddy dynamic and loads of martial arts action is what lays on the road before you.. It's a journey I'm going to enjoy being along for. I hope to see you all on the trail. Read Full Review

Brisson, Perkins, and Troy's Iron Fist is an adrenaline-fueled fist of fury and fun. Issue six moves along at a breakneck pace without sacrificing story. It's the start of a new story arc and a great jumping on point for new readers as Shang Chi and Danny Rand, the baddest dudes in the Marvel universe, tear through throngs of henchman on their way to the big boss himself.

I am still really enjoying this series. Brisson tells really good action packed tight stories. That read really fast but you feel like you get every ounce of information you need to progress the story forward. Perkins' art is outstanding every time but I do prefer his brighter color palette work. It allows for tighter line work it seems. That is really splitting hairs though. Because I love his nighttime art also. I would love to see him on the Daredevil book in the future. I hope Brisson will start taking some more chances with his writing though. It has the possibility of becoming kind of predictable in the future I feel. Read Full Review

This is a really fun comic. While this issue falls a little short of the saga on Liu-Shi, its still a good read, and the addition of Shang-Chi, the Master of Kung Fu, helps make up for what is lost in the less-detailed fight sequences. Iron Fist keeps its strong recommendation with another action-packed and well-paced issue. Read Full Review

Asking questions is expected after you read a setup issue, but I'm not sure I like how many I have. Read Full Review

My biggest complaint is that the fighting sequences don't really show off the fighting prowess of either hero. Part of the joy of martial arts combat is the poetry of the fighting, the precision of the moves (offense and defense) and the skill of the fighter. Read Full Review

Shang-Chi adds some fun energy to the latest issue of Iron Fist, but the comic still doesn't rise to the level of anything special or exciting. Just solid, fun Iron Fist action. Read Full Review

IRON FIST #6 was terrific. While I, thoroughly, enjoyed the opening arc, I was a little concerned about Danny Rand being involved in, yet, another kung-fu tournament (Not only has it been done. ..more than once...but I'd hate to see Iron Fist limited, solely, to martial arts themed villians and stories). However, that same tournament has, apparently, set the stage & given IRON FIST (the series) direction and Iron Fist (the character) a renewed sense of purpose. Good story, great art,excellent characterization, a welcome appearance by the (other) Master of Kung-fu (in his Avengers uniform, no less) and an interesting villian made for a great installment of IRON FIST. SCORE: 8.5

I was excited to see how the next arc would begin after I enjoyed the first so much. The art, as with the rest of the series, is one of the best things about Iron Fist. The story, while not bad, just did not have much depth. How did Shang-Chi just appear to save Danny? Not sure where he came from, but I hope we will found out how he is involved. We will see how the arc goes!

Iron Fist gets tossed into a Shang-Chi team-up against the kung fu equivalent of the Purple Man. The script offers some decent quippery and a few not-all-that-amazing plot twists. Mike Perkins' art is overloaded with detail; there are some points where storytelling flow and character emotions take a backseat, visually, to proving how very realistic Mr. Perkins can be.
