When we last left Danny Rand in #16, he had just come to the realization that only one Iron Fist has lived past the age of 33 and, surprise, today is his 33rd birthday! What's a guy to do? Try to ignore it while his friends throw him a party, I guess.
Danny's made headway into retooling the Rand Corporation, and he's hired a feisty new COO. Danny and Jeryn give the new guy a run down on Rand Corp's...less than conventional enemies.
Also in the issue is the ever popular (with me, at least) past Iron Fist flash back. It takes us to West Texas in the late 1800s, where the current IF is trying to alleviate the hardships of his Chinese brethren. After getting his ass kicked by some not-so-innocent townspeople, he runs into a spooky guy who tells him, "I am a servent of the Ch'i-Lin. I am the one who kills The Iron Fist." Dun dun duuuun!
And, what do you know, this fuckin' guy turns up at a park in NYC decades later to beat Danny Rand to the ground. Oh nos!
Sooo, yeah. Story is good, dialogue is tIIF appropriate mix of funny/serious/mystical, and the art isn't too shabby, either. I don't like it quite as much as David Aja's stuff, but the action shots are still seriously kick ass.
