Damn it all to hell!

[sarahnewlin]

I want to take a minute to express how I am LIVING for Netflix Iron Fist getting shredded in the reviews.

[thehood]

Odd thing to post here though.

[tigerkaya]

Seems irrevelavent.

[sarahnewlin]

I apologize. You are referring to my comment as a whole in the context of the post and not in terms of elsewhere right? (There's a whole undercurrent of racism with the show that is exploding all over social media but I won't bring it up if its not needed to)

[tigerkaya]

Just your comment.

[joetuss]

Why? What's your beef with the show?

[sarahnewlin]

It's racist. I won't bother bringing it up unless someone makes a post relating to it but its incredibly racist.

[bizarrohulk]

I wouldn't expect that anyone would make a post relating to it before the 17th of March at the earliest - which brings up the obvious question of why you're getting so outraged at a show you haven't seen yet.

[thehood]

How so? You haven't seen the show yet, it hasn't even aired. It also doesn't have anything to do with this issue of this comic.

When a white man begins lecturing an Asian woman about martial arts.....

[tigerkaya]

Alex Wilder....... nope never heard of him.

[mastermahan]

I think I'll pretend he's a different character with the same name, myself.

[beyondthefringe]

Hell changes a guy.

[mastermahan]

His voice feels very off to me, but that's a good point. Anyone who comes out of Hell with a stomach buddy will be different.

Ethically, though, he seems about the same, at least based on these pages. Alex Wilder was willing to sacrifice billions to the Gibborim. Condemning millions of souls to hell is arguably less evil than that.

I'm sorry.
The GRANDMASTER OF STREET MAGIC sounds awesome. Hilariously awesome.
This series really is underappreciated for what it's done for the PW&IF roster of villains (and those it's dragged in.)

Art is a little offputting at times, though.

[mastermahan]

Don't forget Supersoul Stone. I believe that was Grandmaster of Street Magic's first album.

[fairestcat]

I mostly really like this book for how it's portrayed Luke and Danny and their relationship, and how it's brought in and utilized a great cast of old adversaries of theirs. Plus the street magic/Senor Magico thing is an awesome addition to the magical mythos.

That said, I find the art somewhat offputting. I particularly really didn't like the Jericho Drumm pages in this issue.

[lieut_kettch]

Shouldn't they be bringing Nico in to help with her crazy possessed evil ex? She's a fellow Avenger after all.

[philippos42]

Do they even know that there is a connection?

[thehood]

Nico doesn't really know Luke & Danny though. They might not even know there's a connection.
