heeeeee's back .... !well, Danny has been, for a while now, posing as Daredevil temporarily. prior to that, i felt down in the dumps back in '86 when he bit the dust, not fighting evildoers, but by getting pummeled to death by a super-powered friend who was trying to wake him up. that would have been one of the stupidest super-hero deaths ever, so years later, writers retconned the whole thing by saying it wasn't the real Danny Rand who died, yadda-yadda-yadda. and then i never followed up on his resurrection and subsequent appearances until now.
Ed Brubaker, rising Marvel star and writer of currently-interesting Captain America (he brought back the long-dead Bucky Barnes, but that's another story), brings back Danny to his roots as a mystic martial artist living in the modern world (CEO of Rand Industries). in this first issue, he nixes a $10 billion deal to build trains and provide technology to China, and proves his gut instincts right as the other party turns out to be a front corporation of Hydra (longtime terrorists, like if the KGB and Communism never died and stopped funding their puppets). the art by David Aja is Jae Lee-ish, and i think this should have been done by the latter himself (who had an awesome contribution to a Wired Magazine story about those technoscammers pushing Gizmondo). still, Aja's fine.
yes, its just still one issue and i'm already foaming at the mouth. hmmm. i should do this more often.
i'm looking forward to Danny hooking up with Luke Cage again. oh, and there's another Iron Fist? interesting ...

Ferrous, eh? So I suppose your favorite bands are Iron Maiden and Iron Butterfly, your favorite head of state is Margaret Thatcher, and your favorite household chore is pressing underpants. Did you cry when the Iron Curtain disintegrated in 1989? Nyaahahahaa!!

For the life of me I couldnt understand why a supposedly sane person could derive pleasure from mouth-foaming such that he wishes it to happen more often.
yeah, one of my favorite activities is ... ironing. and i'm in america, the land of people who never press their clothes. oh, the irony! nyahahahahaha!
