Iron Fist Week (2025) - Day 3 - Favorite Relationship

I missed day 2 so I'm kind of folding favorite character and favorite relationship into one big post about Joy and Danny.

Joy Meachum is a character I always liked but I don't think I fully appreciated her role in the story until I re-watched the show a couple years ago.

Her relationship with Danny isn't as intense or dramatic as some of the others in the series but it is a nice through-line, picking up in the very first episode and continuing all the way to the end of Season 2.

Through Joy we see all the different sides of Danny, his best and worst traits and his evolution as a hero.

What I came to appreciate about Season 1 is that it has a very dynamic plot, with Danny Rand as this well-meaning but very flawed protagonist who bounces around the story like a pinball, colliding with other characters and sending them off on their own trajectories so that pretty soon everyone is bouncing off everyone else.

Joy initially seems the least affected and the most supportive but bit by bit the consequences of Danny's actions start rebounding on her, shaking the foundations of her life and revealing just how carefully constructed her reality is, leading to her villain era in Season 2.

Summary:

When private investigator Jessica Jones comes to the compound asking about Eleanor, Kate is admittedly not overly thrilled. However, she quickly grows far more interested as she realizes that Jessica has a better idea of what was happening with Kate's mother than Kate herself ever did. Naturally, this launches Kate on an investigation alongside Jessica to find out more about her mother and the mysterious shadow organization that Eleanor and Kingpin were associated with.

Did anyone else really dislike season 3 of jessica jones and season 2 of Luke Cage?

Season 2 of Iron Fist was good, though.

Happy 38 Birthday to Jessica Stroup.

[bookoftheironfist]

Joy makes her way toward the monster at the top of the tower, alone, brave in her conviction to find out what her brother has been hiding from her but clueless to the danger, to the spider’s web she is walking into. And look at that framing; the whole time, she is being watched. As with everything involving Harold, Joy’s slow journey into the penthouse alone is nerve-wracking viewing-- a journey into a dangerous new world from which we know she might not escape.

Review: Iron Fist Epic Colletion 1: The Fury of Iron Fist

Iron Fist 1: The Fury of Iron Fist

70’s Marvel Kung Fu Heroes are 2 for 2

It’s always nice when you go into a book with high expectations and are not disappointed. I was almost certain that I would love Iron Fist 1, since Brubaker and Fraction’s Immortal Iron Fist is one of my favorite modern Marvel runs and the Chris Claremont/John Byrne duo are one of comics’ legendary creative teams. This book was as good as expected.

Roy Thomas created the character and wrote the first issue, but he immediately gave way to Len Wein, Tony Isabella, and Doug Moench, before Chris Claremont became the permanent writer. In spite of the turnover, the beginning of the volume is essentially one long, serialized story. Once Claremont settles in, the book becomes slightly more episodic, which was more typical of Marvel comics in the 70’s. My favorite of the pre-Claremont issues are obviously Marvel Premier #17 and #18 where Iron Fist has to fight his way through the trap-laden Meachum building. I definitely think my love of death-traps comes from watching the Indiana Jones and Home Alone movies so many times as a child.

As good as it was under other writers, the book elevates once Claremont comes on board. Most people in this group are probably very familiar with his specific writing style from his legendary run on Uncanny X-Men, but because this was earlier in his career, he hadn’t yet developed some of the tics that he would become famous for later on (like repeated use of catchphrases). The plotting is also not quite as intricate as UXM; Iron Fist is a fairly straightforward narrative with a main plot that is occasionally interrupted by interludes which set up the next arc. It’s nowhere near as complex as Claremont’s Uncanny, in which he would be planting seeds for stories 5 years down the line while simultaneously spinning 3-4 plots and subplots, but Iron Fist is just as enjoyable.

I really liked how Misty Knight was developed across this volume. Claremont only reveals her background in small pieces, but we constantly see how competent she is, and, if you don’t already know why, it’s quite cool to see her do some really amazing feats. Her relationship with Danny Rand is also really interesting. You’d be forgiven for assuming that Colleen Wing was intended to be Danny’s love interest, but he and Misty have much better chemistry, and, at least in this volume, Misty is much better-developed and more interesting than Colleen Wing.

One minor complaint that I have about The Fury of Iron Fist is that most of the antagonists are forgettable. The Meachums, for example, are never more than your typical rich evil bad guys. Only the Wrecking Crew, on loan from Thor, have any real flair. Sabretooth also makes his debut here, and he does show a lot of potential, but given that he’s a prominent X-Men/Wolverine villain, I assume that he probably doesn’t return to this title.

One high point is that Iron Fist consistently looks great throughout this volume. John Byrne draws the majority of the Claremont issues, and it’s amazing how in sync the two of them were from the beginning. Even before Byrne, several others including a young Larry Hama provide solid contributions.

Something that I tried to be aware of while I read this was whether I’d recommend Master of Kung Fu or Iron Fist to someone. Ultimately, I decided that it wasn’t a fair comparison, because not only are both equally great, but, really, the 70’s Kung Fu trappings are where the similarities between the titles end. Master of Kung Fu has more in common with James Bond, whereas Iron Fist is a more traditional superhero. That said, if you enjoy one title, than there’s a good chance that you’d enjoy the other. Both would be among my most recommended Marvel Comics from the 70’s.
