Welcome back, Anons. Time for Power Man, Iron Fist, and the glowy ball
Sorry for the delay. Between fireworks at midnight last night and being called in for work today, I didn't have the time to do the thread.
>>84266196
>the glowy ball
Are we getting another Dazzler crossover? Is this cover set in a weird disco?
What do you say we try and fill up this entire thread to make up for it?
>>84266276
That motherfucker is HIGH AS SHIT.
Also, no prob on the missed thread.
>>84266293
Normally I'd snark and say yes, but no, we're safe from Dazzler for the forseeable future.
Seriously, have you seen the feud between Luke Cage and the Soda Machine? He's got experience fucking with electronics.
Oh, and before I forget, we're basically squeezing these issues just under the image limit, so please, no pictures.
>"It's a Yacht, they tell me. I bought it."
>"I am a multi-millionare, remember? If I want to indulge a whim or two, why shouldn't I?"
>Danny dressed like a Captain
>He named the boat Misty
There's so much I love about this damn page...
Hey look, Curly Haired Danny!
>>84266496
That Steward is clearly going to try to rob Danny.
On Misty's hair in the last thread and it being down- I read that scene as her being recently showered.
>Danny gives a long heart-to-heart story to the woman he loves and his oldest friend
>Said oldest friend seems to ignore him and straight up steals his hat
>>84266509
>Buys Yacht
>Mostly so he learns better balance for the next time he needs to Kung Fu on top of a moving truck.
And here we see confirmation that Danny still does "technically" have a secret identity, even though he almost literally has done NOTHING to protect that secret.
>>84266548
Well, Colleen SHOULD understand the whole K'un-Lun conflict he's having if the mind meld still has any impact on either of them. Also, she knows how to leave, hanging sock on doorknob.
>"Pardon me, may I have a moment of your time?"
Danny is the most polite Living Weapon, isn't he?
How long do you think Luke and Danny just stood there? I like to imagine they waited a bit before the henchmen noticed.
>"These dyna-blasters pack enough power to flatten a brick wall!"
>Doesn't even tease Luke's shirt
>"Did you ever see such unladylike behavior?"
Marvel civilians, everyone! Getting saved from armed men, and they're still starting shit.
And here the star of our story is, the Glowy Ball!
I'm sure you clever Anons have noticed, but for the ones who haven't been paying attention, these guys have been shitting themselves at the sight of Iron Fist. At the same time though, they haven't given Luke a second thought.
>"Do you need a sales slip to return a yacht?"
Does anyone here know if you CAN return a yacht?
Wow, you weren't gone for long, huh?
>>84266990
>Does anyone here know if you CAN return a yacht?
High end merchants are I think generally happy to take returns, because their repeat customers basically expect everything and a blowjob given to them.
I need to start saying "How's tricks?" more.
>>84267075
Huh, go figure.
Oh hey, remember DW's movie?
>>84267218
Turning people's clothes into phosphorous is way more monstrous a move than this page makes it out to be.
>>84267267
I dunno, once he's in the hospital they start mentioning how fucked it is.
Man, given that one bit of his training montage, can you imagine how weird the rest of it was?
I feel like it should've been easy for him to jump over the coal and kick Chemistro in the face.
But what do I know, I'm no living weapon.
So he's a "Villain for Hire"?
So this page admits that Danny owns video games and movies.
What do you think he got, considering this was in '83.
This is, in my opinion, a good character page for Luke.
I haven't actually read much Iron Man, so the fact that this doesn't give any specific issues, I've never bothered to figure out what OG Chemistro was specifically involved in.
I like to pretend this is a dig at Silver Age Superman.
Just about every time Chemistro shows up, it seems like it ends up going down to a Luke vs. Chemestro one-on-one battle.
I can't tell if this is one of those Shounen Anime "the hero has to do this for his own honor" things, or if this is just Marvel Civilians being jackasses.
Marvel Civlians being jackasses it is!
>Luke walks through multiple Nitroglycerin explosions
>His shirt only gets a few holes
I don't know exactly how much force those explosions would do, but I feel like this may be another benchmark for Luke Cage's durability's Power Creep.
>>84267543
>What do you think he got, considering this was in '83.
He's rich, so all of them- Colecovision, Atari, Intellivision.
>>84267598
This is '82, so it might be around Demon in a Bottle, given that Rhodey is Iron Man by the time Secret Wars hits.
After how, during Busiek's run these little shits have been calling him an Oreo at worst, and been generally unhelpful at best, is anyone surprised at Luke's decision here?
>>84267731
I think that might be A Pimp Named Solace, so it's probably just petty "Luke Cage ain't actin' Black enough" bs.
Oh god, I love this character, for no reason other than her origin is completly insane. You'll... you'll see what I mean.
>>84267829
'83, actually, but why would that effect Original Recipe Chemistro?
I was listening to The Protomen's CDs while working today (shut up, my car radio doesn't work), and by god, these shits are even worse than the civilians there.
>>84267889
When your boss is a self destructive alcoholic with a flying robot suit, chaos insues.
Honestly I haven't read those issues either. I'm just working backwards from what I do know.
Yet again, these guys are terrified of Iron Fist, and Iron Fist specifically.
Whenever I see the line "X does as s/he pleases," all I can think of is that bit from Spidey Super Stories. You all know the one, right?
>"Doom does as he pleases!"
>Toot!
>>84267951
>>84267889
Okay, scratch that, Demon in a Bottle was '79. BUT this IS right around when Rhodey became Iron Man because Tony was falling off the wagon.
>>84267889
INKS
Lady, ignoring the fact that these guys are total fucking shitheads, and the fact that they were literally standing out of his apartment throwing shit at his window, you live in fucking New York City. There's so many superheroes in this city you can't throw a rock without hitting someone in a mask.
Colleen is surprisingly cute here.
>>84268001
i know what you're talking about but that does sound like something straight outta Lee/Kirby.
Doom's such a strong character
>>84268058
Aw, I didn't want to say it until we finished with all three of his issues. Yeah, THE Mike Mignola inked three issues of Power Man & Iron Fist.
>yfw see Iron Fist fight a villain on roller skates
>>84268163
Sadly my torrent of Spidey Super Stories is taking forever, because there's no seeds.
>>84267598
Why doesn't he have a prosthetic leg? That crutch shit must be getting old.
No, I didn't forget about this page, this is DANNY fighting on roller skates, not Iron Fist. I'm not counting it.
Okay, this "kick the roller skates into the faces of henchmen" trick is pretty cool.
>>84268139
>Colleen is surprisingly cute here.
Oh, it's no surprise. She's frequently cute.
Luke regularly letting his temper get away from him and eating a meal of his own foot is a great character flaw that I think has completely disappeared.
For those of you who haven't been keeping up, "Rand-Kai" is Danny's K'un-Lun name. Well, it's his father's. If memory serves, he got it when he was adopted by Yu-Ti's father.
>>84268217
>>84268250
Danny desperately needs the Katy Keene/Millie the Model audience to send in some fashion ideas this issue. That sweater is practically Cosbyan.
>>84268447
Luke's always been fairly easy to anger. We haven't seen how bad his temper can get.
>>84268292
>Roller Skate fighting
>And not Rollerball style
That's Dazzler enough.
>Fera is literally the humanoid form of one of the wolves that killed and ate Danny's mother a the foot of the Magical Kung Fu City in another dimension
I can't think of a character premise that's more "COMICS!" than Fera here, and I'm so bummed she's such a minor character.
>>84268491
I dunno, I like the idea that Danny has no fashion sense.
>>84268600
He pays people to have a fashion sense FOR him.
>>84268628
It would hardly be the stupidest thing he's spent money on.
Between her eyes and how light her skin is today (they ran out of hairstyles, apparently) I thought Harmony was asian for a bit here.
And one meeting with a helpless old woman is enough for Luke to change his mind.
Oh look, it's Black Cyclops and Black Hawkeye!
>>84268772
If these two morons don't end up on Cageflix it's a missed opportunity.
They could be the series' Bebop and Rocksteady.
>>84268795
Shades and Comanche, clothing damage, and his war with the Soda Machine, is there anything else we need?
And his bow/quiver is even purple!
Am I just really tired, or does Danny look really big on this page?
And now we have a name for who's been in charge of the Iron Fist side of Busiek's run, "Masterlord".
>>84268871
They are just Tiny Women.
>>84268936
I mean his proportions. His shoulders look broader than I expect.
And yet another example of Jeryn's character. He's morally gray and more than a little greedy, but when backed into a corner he's still on Danny's side.
The fact that he clearly approves of what he thinks is just Danny being manipulative is kind of fucked up, but still...
>>84268953
Unnecessary butt shots aren't only for women. This page proves it.
>>84266329
>Please my family believes I'm successful!
That's just sad.
>>84268983
>And yet another example of Jeryn's character. He's morally gray and more than a little greedy, but when backed into a corner he's still on Danny's side.
But just think, with mind control he could get everyone in Danny's Corner.
And prevent half his Sex Bunker staff from being their just to steal shit.
>>84269014
Reverse psychology is hardly the heights of rhetorical evil.
Luke, you're not Spider-Man. Your girlfriend knows you're a superhero. You can tell her you're fighting supervillains.
And now that she's pulling this shit, maybe you should've done that.
Wow, I was taking the piss. I didn't expect him to actually just fuck off and go back to fight supervillains with his bro Iron Fist.
>>84269067
That's why I said it was only "a bit fucked up". Approving of tricking your girlfriend into a job to avoid paying her is a dick move, but it's basically just that, a dick move. Hardly "evil".
>>84269167
BUBBLE YUM

Ward Meachum is kind of a punk.
And here we see the characters themselves commenting on Luke's Power Creep, possibly making it canon that he's been growing in strength.
You know he's been waiting for the chance to do this to some poor fool, and he's so happy he finally has the chance.
Although, how was he so sure he'd destroy the whole wall and not, you know, shove his fist clean through it? That would've sucked.
>>84266589
>Let's get Danny Rand!
>Hell no, he's a kung fury master!
>Let's get Iron Fist!
>Hell no, he's filthy rich!
He's super hero double jeopardy.
Wow, nice shot.
>>84266702
I like Harcourt. He's chummy.
>>84266742
Harmony looks 10/10 after sabertooth ripped her face off. I'd wreck that, no lie.
Is it wrong that I kind of want to see a Shades vs. Cyclops fight? I know Cyclops would win, but I want to see it.
>>84266837
It's Ruby Friday's head!
So has any of Comanche's arrows done ANYTHING to Luke?
And Shades was only able to damage Luke's shirt.
Seriously, Danny should've just let Luke take care of these two idiots, since they can't hurt him at all, and I don't think they're smart enough to use numerical superiority properly.
>>84267218
Chemistro: The Line.
WHY DID THE COPS LET HIM KEEP THE PUNCH-BEAM GLASSES ON?!
>>84269203
A SHRUBBERY?!!?
Well... shit.
>>84267232
Danny, you were abandoned to freeze to death and your mother was eaten by wolves, this is not over dramatic.
>>84269564
Holy fuck, that's dumb even for a cop.
Oh hey guys, Aquila's coming back!
>>84269621
>even for a cop
ESPECIALLY for a cop. He's in the Marvel Universe. Unless he thinks he is literally dealing with Black Cyclops, and if he removes his ruby quartz goggles he'll kill them all, which he clearly doesn't believe since he takes them off next page, he should always assume they have a reason for everything weird on them.
I'd never make it as a comic book cop, because I would make all of the criminals strip before getting in the back seat, just to make sure they're shirt isn't secretly power armor or some shit. And that shit wouldn't fly, I bet.
>>84267406
>Arm curls while shooting
>Jump rope while shooting
>Hop scotch while shooting...
Even when he thinks he's going to die, Luke's first thought is to make sure Danny lives. These two are total bros.
Remember this, it will hurt in a few weeks.
Reminder that, as is mentioned many, many, MANY times in this series, Luke Cage weighs 300 fucking pounds.
Unrelated to the comic, but it's 2:30 in the morning, on July FIFTH, and I'm still hearing fireworks outside.
Remember that bottom left panel, it's as important as implied.
And for once, he's NOT fighting the heroes!
>"What does this chick think she is-a samurai?"
>"Actually, yes!"
This is one thing I miss about classic narration, the narrator can be a cheeky fuck sometimes.
Oh hey, looks like Rafe got over getting Chemistro'd eventually.
To be fair, Shades has a point. What normal person would assume you literally meant to get his heart?
>"Dios Mio! I don't need this!"
God, I love that reaction.
If this issue were released today, I feel like they would've tried to make a subplot that Rafe loved Misty too, which would get friggen annoying.
>>84269679
>patty-cake while shooting
>break-dancing while shooting
>fapping while shooting
>Fera leaps so fast she crossed panel borders
I love seeing Luke just straight up choke Fera here.
>>84269660
>I would make all of the criminals strip before getting in the back seat
That's what Emma Frost did to the X-Men the first time she caught them.
>>84269919
Oh no! She ripped Luke's shirt!
>>84269928
Yeah, I remember that before I had to stop following X-Anon and start planning my massive storytime.
>>84269941
Yeah, but look at this shit. Fucking Shades did more damage.
>>84269806
Does Rafe have a healing factor?
What took you so long to bring out your gun, Rafe?!
Well what do you know, DW's stupid film student subplot helped solve the crime.
MASTER KHAN HAS ARRIVED!
>>84270019
ZOINKS!
And now for the 100th issue of Power Man & Iron Fist!
Once again, featuring the inking talents of Mike "Hellboy" Mignola. It's also basically the last issue of Busiek's run, barring two one-shot issues later on.
And yet again, Danny's powers are stolen.
For those of you who have stuck with us for so long, here's Danny's backstory.
>"Take it easy, fist. We'll get your soul back."
Words that Luke Cage probably didn't think he'd say when he got into this Superhero gig.
Some superhero love interests would bitch about the hero seeing their ex and abandoning them even after seeing the state of their best friend. For as vapid as she seems to be (and IS, let's not lie), she's at least not THAT bad.
Man, you're talking that good shit now Khan, since the toughest guys you've fought are Luke and Danny. Wait until Doctor Strange finds out what you're up to. 80's Strange was fucking badass.
>"That's exactly right Rafe. I have no heart at the moment."
"But Rafe, I'm already a demon"
And if you haven't even seen Danny's origin, here's Luke's origin for you!
>Starts pulling in strength from his soul
>First thing he mentions is Misty
OTP
T
P
Given that Khan and Misty knew nothing about her bionic arm, they could've gotten out on their own earlier if she woke up sooner.
>"Ha! I did it! You ready to die, Iron Fist?"
Oh, my dear summer child...
>Immediately kicks the guy in the face
Let's be honest, we all saw this coming.
>"Give me your location and we'll be right there."
>"Sucker."
>Luke Cage can stomp on the ground hard enough to push back two grown men standing feet away
New benchmark for Cage's Power Creep.
>Iron Fist vs. Fera
>Luke Cage vs. Shades & Comanche
He took them out, brought the roof down on their heads, and didn't even scratch his shirt.
I find it curious that Master Khan keeps Danny's soul as well as the Chi of Shao-Lao. Perhaps he can't seperate them? Maybe it's just that extra bit of "Fuck you, Rand'Kai"?
That scene in the middle is cool. Like, I want a poster of that for my bedroom.
Master Khan has already shown the ability to use the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak earlier, so here's another one of Doctor Strange's staple spells, the Rings of Raggadoor.
DW is going to make the best fucking movie his film class has ever seen.
"What's that, you filmed a documentary on Latverian emmigrants? Fuck you, I got Luke Cage and Iron Fist fighting a wizard!"
Looks like Fera was telling the truth, she really wasn't working for Khan out of loyalty.
Hm... I know I said I'd fill up this thread, but it's late. Not only that, but this issue actually ends on a fairly concluding note. If this thread is still around later on, maybe then I'll fill it up.
But until then, I'm gonna head off. See you Anons later.
>>84270635
>they probably won't ever have the kung fu werewolf chick in any adaptation
Sad.
>>84270904
Later, brah.
>>84270777
Which is why I get the feeling that the film/camera is going to end up being destroyed (DW doesn't seem incompetent enough for the "the lens cap was on the whole time!" gag).
>>84268577
Not just one of them, literally the first wolf to jump her.
The only thing more personal would be Mecham's reanimated corpse, wheelchair and all.
>>84268647
Dear is so yandere.
>>84268790
>Comanche and shades
The bebop and rock steady of Powerman.
>>84269834
Dear is just being a bitch at this point.
>>84270514
Wait, is this Bob's only line in this issue?
