Iron Fist
Summary
Warning ! Spoilers ahead for Iron Fist 50th day of remembrance Special # 1!I really hate to say this , but Marvel ’s fresh trend of on-line bonus page really undercutIron Fist’srecent death . Recent months have seen the publisher adding QR codes to its books to give fan an additional page to various stories . But this style has severely hurt the latest shocking maturation for Iron Fist .
InIron Fist fiftieth Anniversary Special # 1’sstory " Happy Birthday , Danny " by Jason Loo and Whilce Portacio , Danny is keep his thirty-fourth birthday . It ’s an especially happy day since Danny is the first Iron Fist to last the qi - Lin and actually make it past 33 . alas , the Ch’i - Lin is back and itmanages to defeat Iron Fistin his own home .
However , a QR code included with the physical release link to an additional page rig weeks later at Danny ’s grave site . A lone candela on the tombstone blows outjust as Iron Fist ’s radiate paw pops out from the ground .
Iron Fist Has Come Back from the Dead Almost Immediately
I ’m not the large X - Men sports fan around , but even I heard about the commotion that come from Marvel Comics ' late decision to add QR codes to its relaunch of the X - form of address . In case you missed it , X - Men # 1featured a QR codification that , when scanned , revealed a ' bonus page’that tease apart future events or villains . Phoenix # 1andNYX # 1also come in with QR codes to tantalise these stories ' futures . Reception to the trend has been ambivalent at unspoiled , with many review the publisher for leaving vital info out of a story readers have already make up full price for .
I had no problem with the gimmick since it seemed mostly containedto X - Men - related books . But when I read an advanced copy ofIron Fist 50th Anniversary Special # 1 , I had no clue that there evenwasa QR code include in the book until after it already hit stands . And I most certainly did not expect the fillip scene to be of Danny Rand seemingly coming back from the dead immediately after the chi - Lin killed him . I scarcely even had enough time to sense the weight of Iron Fist ’s deathbefore this bonus shot whole undid it .
Marvel Needs to Slow Down with the QR Code Scenes
I ’ve read enough comics to know that destruction in comic is , for lack of a better word , meaningless . But at least when I say Ch’i - Lin kill Danny , I thought there would be some geographic expedition of how this murder affected his friends and family . Instead , hardly a day kick the bucket by and this extra Sir Frederick Handley Page makes the death scene not even matter . I ’m certain whatever ’s going on with Danny will be explore soon enough , I just wish Marvel had allowedIron Fist’sdeath to at least try out to leave an encroachment and not mislead readers with its additional aspect .
