This graphic novel is fantastic. It explores the mantle of Iron Fist itself with color and depth that makes all the different Iron Fists of the past so compelling. The main story arc is engaging, the sub-plots almost equally so. Yet despite all the characters introduced, from Orson Randall to Wu Aoi, and the unofficial and welcome re-union of Heroes for Hire the the Daughters of the Dragon, this is ultimately a Danny Rand story at it's finest. Every character from past issues and series is given a glorious opportunity to shine on their own and have themselves made into integral parts of the story. Explosive yet tasteful action ensues, and there is a fair amount of humor as well, but none of it feels out of place. It's all seamless. This is the correct way to write a graphic novel.
If you weren't a fan of the Netflix show (I wasn't very impressed myself), this could still win you over. If you want to know who or what the Iron Fist is really all about, look no further than this collection.
I had to wait nearly a month for it to be shipped (god knows why) but I can forgive that since this work was as good as it is.
