So I was happy to see this issue's guest star (although he's barely recognizable on the cover).
The issue finds Iron Fist under attack by a small army of hooded mystery men - and trying to survive a plane crash.
Just as he's about to be overwhelmed, an old friend shows up and together they tackle the mystery figure behind the attack.
The story is a basic fight from start to finish, with a good twist at the end.
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.
We don't really get that here - it's just a slugfest, which is, frankly, disappointing.
Grade: B-
