Iron Fist: The Living Weapon: Redemption Review

Finished reading Iron Fist: The Living Weapon: Redemption, this concludes Marvel's series by writer/artist Kaare Kyle Andrews as Iron Fist makes his way back to New York after recuperating from the last battle with a cyborg version of his father. The book opens up with Iron Fist's reanimated father in a conference so that he can regain control of the his company, meanwhile in the Himalayas Danny Rand is recovering from the injuries he sustained from the battle he had with his father as he is training with is childhood friend Sparrow. Before Danny goes back to New York he heads to Diyu to see his mother for one last time before she has finished atoning for her sins. Overall this was a great book as series creator Kaare Kyle Andrews beings an end to the series with some great action and character moments while also being able to have some great comedic moments within the book that are blended throughout extremely well. There is great character moments between Danny and the supporting cast as Kaare Kyle Andrews writes some heart felt moments between Danny and his mother as well as Danny's interactions with Brenda. While the twist reveal of Brenda's origin is surprisingly jaw dropping and makes you feel for Danny. The artwork throughout the book is amazingly breathtaking form the amount of detail that Kaare Kyle Andrews puts into the fight scenes from Danny's fight with his father which gets quite emotional for Danny as the book makes his knockout punch feel as if it was in slow motion to allow more time for Danny's thought process. Additionally the big Kaare Kyle Andrews pice of the book with Danny using the Rand building as a gigantic mechsuit to fight the god, Zhu-Roug is drawn in incredible detail and doesn't skip a beat. 8.5/10.
