When i first saw that the Immortal Iron fist was to get another run at the end of 2006 i decided to pick it up for 2 reasons, 1) I am a fan of some of the lesser known characters in the Marvel U and 2) Ed brubaker was to be writing it and pretty much everything that man touches turns to gold these days.
I read the first volume and while it was good I didn't think it was brilliant. However I got the sense even then that the first arc seemed more like a platform to set the scene for bigger things to come then anything else and that's exactly what was confirmed when I read this second story arc- "the seven capital cities of heaven". This follows directly on from the first volume with Danny being summoned to fight in the Kung fu tournament ... Read More:

This book was originally published in 12 installments back in 1990 and caused a great deal of controversy at the time due to it's explicitly sexual content. It is hard to tell if Howard Chaykin was pandering to the sleazy end of the market with this book, or whether he was playing some subtle joke. Either are possible and with hindsight it probably doesn't matter.
Even by today's standards the book is most definitely for adults due to it's graphic sexual content.
The story is very much in the film noir crime thriller tradition but with an added element of the supernatural. If you imagine a combination of Mulholland Falls, Body Heat, Body of Evidence and The Hunger, you can probably get a sense of the story's style ... Read More:

I bought this graphic novel a few months back, I was quite conflicted about it, cos i've seen how terrible the recent "Tomb of dracula" was. However, thankfully, this was different, but I must worn you, fans of the movie may not find what they're looking for in this. This is more like a new take on the character, and I liked it. The story was a bit slow at the start, but it builds to a startling conclusion.
It's a shame they've cancelled after the second volume, I felt that they've improved the character a lot, after disasters like the third movie, tomb of dracula and the TV series, the character is finally getting the respect he deserves.
