Iron Fist The Living Weapon: Rage Review



Finished reading Iron Fist The Living Weapon: Rage, this begins writer/artist Kaare Kyle Andrews' Iron Fist series as Danny Rand is forced to deal with an army attacking both is home in New York and the city of K'un Lun. The book opens up with Danny Rand on a date with journalist Brenda Swanson as he relives the mystical city of K'un Lun after witnessing the death of his parents. After returning home with Brenda, a small force of ninjas attack Danny as an undead cyborg ninja takes Brenda hostage as they are looking for a little girl who has come to find Danny to tell him to go back to K'un Lun. After hearing this Danny rushes back to K'un Lun, only to find the city in ruins by a another fraction of the same group that attacked him earlier. Overall this was a good book as it delved into the life of Danny Rand in the present as Iron Fist dealing with undead robotic ninjas attacking him at his home in New York and at the city of K'un Lun. The use of multiple flashbacks is very indicative as it feeds back into the present time period with how Danny deals with his fears as well as linking to his internal monologue throughout the book. The slight change to Kaare Andrews' artwork between the time periods is great as the flashbacks as well as Danny's dream sequences are given a more older feel to the pages compared to the rest of the book. 7.5/10.
