I love how Messiah Complex is ending with all of the players in the same place - thanks to Pixie.
Fuck I love this arc.
i dont care what anyone says
i dont care what the OP says.
New X-men has completely raised the bar for how i want X-books to be read for the climax's of future arcs.
the comic book was litarally 29 moments of the week with each of the 29 pages. not a single page slowed the pace down. insane beginning and cliffhanger ending. needless to say, the pacing that led to the ending left me feeling that X-men 207 was a solidified "buy" for next month.
this book is more than worth your money. guaranteed.

As someone who's just reading New X-Men, these tie-in issues have been awful.
Well to be fair, all of the X-Titles have been hijacked for the duration of Messiah Complex. You're basically not reading New X-Men right now, just an installment of MC with the New X-Men creative team.
As good as this week was, I think Davos' utter destruction was probably my favorite moment. Steel Phoenix is probably the best martial artist I think we've ever seen fight in the Marvel universe. I don't believe Shang Chi could touch him, and with his speed I don't even think Taskmaster could copy him.

I think the Iron Fist special is in leu of IIF #13 - so the special is coming in February, and #13 is in March.
Basically.
There was a link in the Iron Fist thread, I think, with the solicits for #13 and for the Orson special, showing that was how it was going to work.
we'll find out that "Orson Randall versus the Green Mists of Death" is really just the first meeting between PoO and the Golden Age Iron Fist
.
It's like they took the kick ass IIF annual and said "hey, what can we do that would be more awesome than this?" The answer is, of course, to put Orson in it with the same dude that's the most badass motherfucker in the Capital Cities tournament.
Setup: Ka-Zar has given all Savage land invaders an ultimatum; leave or die. The humbled invaders return to offer him an ultimatum of their own.
Cable and Deadpool
Setup: Deadpool and pals are trying to liberate Shanna, and some powerful technology, from the Savage Land mutants.
And after teleporting some dinosaurs into the middle of Manhattan, where they crash into a motorcade transporting the remnants of the symbiote invasion..

That is just so unbelievably perfect. I am 1) upset that I didn't get to pick up comics last night (will rectify that today), and 2) going to miss this book a lot when it ends.

God I hope they never leave this series.
There is no Immortal Iron Fist without Bru and Fraction. Seriously, who else writes Danny this well?
Hell, if Aja leaves the title (god forbid), I think that'd be a huge loss.
For those that are still on the fence over buying IMMORTAL IRON FIST
Yeah.
Okay.
That did it.
For me, there is no more fence. The fence is an idiot.
The fence needs to fuck himself and die.
That was awesome.
Please tell me there is a trade paperback out so that I might rectify my mistake of not reading IIF from the start and I am not going to have to buy 7 single issues.
Also, you guys that are new to Iron Fist will be doing yourself a huge favor by buying Essential Iron Fist vol. 1. Not only do you get good background on Iron Fist, it's a great run and a hell of a deal to boot.

Fixed.
Firstly I don't see how we can have any gauge on how powerful POO really is. So.. how do you know?
Secondly, does that even count as fighting? He turned into mist and like... ruined Steel Phoenix's shit. I don't think that's fighting. That's magic. I feel like when you turn into fuckin mist it's not martial arts anymore. I don't know why but somehow what POO did seems to cross a line that Steel Phoenix Blow (First Execution), Sumo Thunder Stomp and the Black Milk of Hell don't seem to. Anyone else feel this way?
Also for those still on the fence about which Iron Fist sig to use (Thanks Crimsondude for the cool sigs):
I was almost 100% sure those three beatles were Ultra-Humanite and those other two villains in deguise.
I don't think they were the Beatles, but I'm not 100% convinced those were the real Beetles either. It seems like the Jamie Reyes Beetle threw out a hint that he wasn't the real thing; he quoted a literary reference, which Booster noted was out of character.

There should really be a sound effect for *DINOSAUR!*

Dude, he beat Davos like he stole something with no effort. Davos just barely lost to Danny in the first arc, though Danny fully rested probably could take Davos without too many problems. Tell me another martial artist in the Marvel universe that can probably beat up Danny with only slightly more effort than he did to Davos. And yeah, the green mist counts as martial arts, just like the the different Iron Fists used the ki of Shou-loa to do seemingly magical things.
I love that "everyone sitting at their lunch tables" spread. Even though Crane Mother's table is tiny, you can still see Davos sitting their in all his douche glory.
Firstly I don't see how we can have any gauge on how powerful POO really is. So.. how do you know?
Well, kicking Davos' ass up one side of the arena and down another is a pretty good metric, especially when compared to his beat-down of TBD, and him being of equivalent power to Iron Fist (being his archnemesis and all).

Not really. Well, not in any fictional depiction of magic I can think of. What he did was turn into mist, but still retained sufficient control over his body to physically strike Davos about the head and body until he was knocked out. It was still fighting, even if it wasn't two "proper" humanoids going one on one.
Fat Cobra took out several shaolin terror monks using the Sumo Thunder Stomp. He didn't physically touch them, but I'd still call that a martial arts blow. Especially since we're using crazy Chinese martial arts rules.
Outside of that, PoO is Amazing Man in all but name (for legal reasons). Amazing Man was a crazy badass martial artist (Which is the whole reason Bru and Frac wanted to use him, besides being according to Frac one of the base inspirations for Iron Fist). That he turns to green mist doesn't detract from that fact.
Oh, God. I want that Orson/Green Mist One-Shot now!
Also for those still on the fence about which Iron Fist sig to use (Thanks Crimsondude for the cool sigs):
If I was an elitist asshole, I'd say that if someone has never read those pages before now, then I don't want them using my sigs.

He has a flashback to when he went on a mission to Mars for Nasa. He requested a bunch of books to keep himself from going insane on the year long trip and the Nasa guys only packed 5 books. Apparently Stephen Hawking (yes the real one) told Nasa he did a pysch evaluation on Robo and told them he could just go in hibernation mode, which Robo does not have. So, after a year long trip of nearly going insane, he lands on Mars and devotes the entire time for the mission to collecting rocks and spelling out "STEPHEN HAWKING IS A BASTARD" in huge letters viewable from space.
Also, seeing 'Mr Edison" trying to assassinate Dr Tesla's Atomic Robot in the backup tale was pretty fucking funny.
Wait is this the one by the dude who does 8-Bit theater? The characeter his CoH character was based off of?

Yes.
The plan is to make one for each of the seven Immortal Weapons.

Don't lecture me about how I have to read Matt Fraction comics. Look at my signature god damn it.

It's all magic, really.
Didn't Bride of Nine Spiders shoot fucking spiders out of herself?
Pretty sure that doesn't count as martial arts.
Same thing with what Davos did last month during his fight with the hand and all.
This is how you do a crossover.
Dude, he beat Davos like he stole something with no effort. Davos just barely lost to Danny in the first arc, though Danny fully rested probably could take Davos without too many problems.
