Kano (1) (1973–)

One of those books that desperately wants to be a madcap laugh riot, but is instead a painful and most tedious slogathon to read. It's a team-up between two of Valiant's buddy books -- Archer & Armstrong and Quantum & Woody -- wherein all the bros hunt for the treasure of the hoboes, which as the old folk song tells us is at the Big Rock Candy Mountain. They must crisscross America, usually by rail, looking for the hobo signs that will point the way, all the while fighting and bickering betwixt and between themselves.

I got it for free as a Bonus Borrow on Hoopla and even then it was still overpriced because they did not include the emotional cost of actually having to read it.

Look, it's bad. Just know that it's bad. Very bad. Bad bad bad bad bad. BaaAAAaaaddddddddDD.… (mehr)

I've never known about Iron Fist before now, so getting all this backstory for Danny's father and Davos and the Cities of heaven blocked from the regular world except by a special device OR 1en years is all pretty fascinating. I love the tournament, too, but I really loved the whole women's revolution in Heaven. :)

It was also a hoot to see Luke Cage and Misty Knight get cold as hell. :)

And so much Hydra! :)

Having a good time.

It might not be the best comic ever but it's certainly some of the better!… (mehr)

Corruption and controversy in Heaven. The Seven Cities were built upon the backs of others, just as the Rand Family got its fortune from Heaven. Danny's on a quest to right all wrongs, even if that means going to hell.

Literally. The Eighth City was the place where all the baddies were put. And there's a surprise waiting inside for all the Immortal Weapons who are going there to right all these past wrongs.

No, no, the surprise isn't that they're tortured for what seems like an eternity. That's a given. lol

The story itself is strong and the consequences are far-reaching. I just have to wonder if the Iron Fist comics after this run does it justice. It's good, here. I just have to wonder, you know?
