BONUS REVIEW by JOHN ROBINSON
New writer, Duane Swierczynski & new regular artist Travel Foreman. Yeah, I don't know who they are either, kick off this new storyline about the Immortal Iron Fist. And it's real good. They play on the whole 'Immortal' bit of Iron Fist and you get some fun flashback scenes about the Iron Fist of 1878 (art by Russ Heath!). Not a fan of Travel Formans style, but style disliking aside - he tells a clear story which is what it's all about.
If you missed out on the Brubaker run - this is a great starting point.
