read it a while ago can't remember when exactly, hadn't read much iron fist so it worked for me as an introduction

This collection just isn't anything to write home about. While I love this character and was excited by the idea of a reboot the story never really goes anywhere when it focuses on Iron Fist and the sex and violence seem forced and ugly in a way I could really have lived without. What I'm left with is a story that couldn't make up its mind what it wanted to be and is unpleasant to look at while it's trying to figure it out.

Well, this is grim as shit. Dark doesn't even begin to describe what Andrews is going for here, and while it looks kind of cool and the storytelling style is disjointed and non-linear and there's a couple of cool new characters, some of the outright changes that have been made to Danny's history are stupid and wrong and look too much like Sam Keith's Maxx stories. Also? This messes with the Capitol Cities of Heaven books and I thought those were damn near perfect. I get the sneaking dark suspicion that this might have been where the Netflix show took its direction from, because the problems here are reflected here as through a glass, darkly.
