Iron Fist: The Living Weapon, Vol. 1: Rage by Kaare Kyle Andrews
3.0
One thing I've always hated about following superhero comics is the constant reboots they undergo. I finished the Immortal Iron Fist books by Fraction, Brubaker and Swierczienski last night, and started this one as I wanted to know more about him. But there were certain plot points here which contradicted those books. Even if it's ignored by chalking it up to the reboots, the Danny Rand in this book was the polar opposite of the wisecracking hero I had been reading about. He was rude, brooding and angry all the time. Also, what's up with Davos, the Steel Serpent? Why does he jump at the chance of becoming the adopted son of every bad guy he comes across?
All these things aside, I liked the art in this book and the direction the story is going, although the constant jumps from present to past and back was a bit distracting. Will be checking out the next volume anyway.
