This is the riveting conclusion to the new Immortal Iron Fist collection.

Here, we have collected the following:

Two decent stories about Orson Randal, one of which was significantly better than the first. I enjoyed the noir, almost [b: Sin City|392297|The Hard Goodbye (Sin City #1)|Frank Miller|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1470924635s/392297.jpg|3696736]-esque tone to the "Death Queen of Hollywood" story, but the tale of him and John Aman came up lacking for several reasons... not least of which was for its odd inclusion out of sequence with the rest of the stories. It would have served much better being read after issue 12 or 13.

The origin stories for the rest of the Immortal Weapons, which on the whole were pretty good. I would have preferred a more in-depth story attached to Dog Brother #1, but Fat Cobra and the Tiger's Beautiful Daughter were far better than they deserved to be. Even Bride of Nine Spiders had a pretty decent story, although it couldn't really be classed as an origin tale as much as a satisfying little horror comic. Ditto for Prince of Orphans, he remains pretty cloaked in mystery. These, however, were quite good.

The main thrust, of course, is the continuation of the previous volumes plot. Here we venture into the 8th city, learn about the fate of the Iron Fists, and the demise of the Rand corporation. Altogether, this story was satisfying and well rendered. Arguably it ended a bit too soon, but that's what future arcs are for.

My only complaint about it all was the small epilogue story "Caretakers" which, while a great story, had significantly sub-par art which was so bad as to be distracting. Oh well, at least the writing was consistently strong. Altogether, a very fun read. ( )
