And here we go, the big finale to the book’s first arc! And it’s a showstopper.
Orson and Danny go up against the Steel Serpent for the power of the Iron Fist. And in the chaos, we lose one of our characters. Well, two, I guess actually. In that Luke, Misty, and Colleen LITERALLY lose Jaryn Hogarth when HYDRA abducts him. But I meant that Orson Randall is killed by the Steel Serpent. He cedes his power to Danny, enabling Danny to win the fight and drive off the Serpent. And I have to say, I didn’t see this coming. And I’m mad about that. Because it seems so obvious but the story sweeps you up in it so much that you aren’t trying to predict anything really.
After the battle has ended, The Thunderer arrives and tells Danny that he has been summoned to fight on behalf of K’un L’un in some sort of huge tournament. And off that, cliffhangers and mysterious hints as to the future, we end “The Last Iron Fist Story†oh hey, I get the title now. Heh, that’s clever.
