As much as I'm uncertain on whether I like Fongju, the Iron Phoenix Fist, or whatever you want to call her, there is a lot of story potential in what happened to her after she went to space. I'd love to see more of that.
When I think of Deodato, I think 90s stuff like Glory, Wonder Woman, and Elektra, but he has grown so much since then and is so good now and his storytelling is amazing.
I love the 3 panel sequence at the bottom of the 1st page here.
Let's throw in Da Vinci because Hickman's SHIELD was a big deal at the time and why the fuck not
I am so torn between "this is awesome" and "this is bullshit" with this story.
Just skimming the main Avengers vs X-Men series for the Iron Fist stuff, most of which happened in the New Avengers tie-in issues.
Still weird how much Iron Fist mythology came into play in a story about the Avengers and X-Men fighting over the Phoenix.
In this case, Iron Fist's story absolutely does not continue. I feel like Spencer had a pitch in that didn't get picked up or got cancelled or something, because this never comes up again.
Then they pop up in the Fear Itself tie-in issues of Iron Man 2.0.
Joy Meachum looking fine.
A core aspect of the plot was that there were cursed Commedia Dell'Arte masks which would possess their wearer. This was one. Pagliacci another. It's actually a neat idea that could be fun in another story.
Love the retro logo choices of this series. That "The All-New, All-Different Power Man and Iron Fist" logo looks timeless.
And here it is - the reason I'm frequently tempted to re-read this series - Pokerface. The man with a poker through his face, who also runs a casino, because now the name has 2 meanings.
Every time Lady Gaga comes on the radio, I think of this.
