Huh, well that was unexpected. I was assuming this was going to focus on the big tournament and Iron Fist beating everybody. But NOPE, dude loses in the first round. In the first match of the first round.
But not for no reason. You see, Danny has been told that he needed to throw the first match, since it wouldn’t eliminate him from the tournament, just bump him down into the secondary bracket. But using the tournament as cover, he can sneak out and find Orson Randall’s biographer, to uncover the secrets of his father’s life.
Meanwhile we the readers are seeing those days, specifically focusing on the friendship between Wendell “not quite the Iron Fist†Rand and Davos, the future Steel Serpent. But this arc is fun as hell and I’m pumped for more super powered tournament fighting between the other immortal weapons.
