Interesting take on Buddy Baker aka Animal Man, but not one that resonated with me for no apparent reason I can nail down. I wanted to like this more, but it just never drew me in.

This one takes a step up from the rest and gives us a very nice and scary twist. It works well because the powers of the Iron Fist do spread across all generations and we love a character that is presented with a huge drawback... this one being that no Iron Fist lives past his 33rd birthday.

Oops.

Happy Birthday, Danny.

I liked the story very much and especially how he managed to survive it. It was a close thing. Great volume here.

I have a split mind on this volume. The stories in it are pretty good, standalone, rather one-shot pieces of past Iron Fists. Good, but only tangentially have anything to do with Danny's main story. Good for backstory and the whole legend, but not great for keeping the pacing up.

Fortunately, the art and their tales ARE good.

Win some, lose some. I still love it all, however. :)
