never seen thsi guys art before. its real nice!

[Master of Sound]

I seriously wonder if people are interested in a title of a hero nobody knows?

I am. Marvel obviously have faith in it since they've ok'd a second mini.

[DannyWetts]

Art is nice. That costume isn't. His powers (which look kind of like Iron Fist's, except ON BOTH HANDS) looks visually cool.

I kind of wish artists would consider the practicality of chains. I can only imagine they would a) get in the way, all the time, b) give your position away constantly with their clinking, and c) be mocked by anyone not wearing chains. Ghost Rider might like them, not like he'd ever mention it.

I'm actually very happy I ordered this one now. I was on the fence for a long time but thought I might support it because I'm an Iron Fist fan. Now that I see the powers the new Power Man has, I'm starting to think he's less of a new hero, and more of a new side-kick to Iron Fist, which makes me think the next mini that they've approved already might be more of a Iron Fist book than anything. It's a convoluted logic, and it's a bit thin, but I've got my fingers crossed.

[Blade X]

I was going to give this series a chance before I saw the preview. After I saw the preview, I will definitely be buying it.

Something new? I don't know, how the hell did any heroes get known?

I'm very interested. The art looks great, the costume looks great, and his power and look are interesting.

I'll be checking out this new Power Man. That's a costume Luke Cage should be wearing. Too late now.:biggrin:

Check out some issues of Dynamo 5.



Something new? I don't know, how the hell did any heroes get known?

Exactly. This strange mentality that a lot of readers seem to have nowadays of being "scared" of new characters is (one of the reasons) why a lot of great books get canned...and why the same handful of characters have about 100 different titles. :frown:

If they want the comic market to be alive within the next 10 years they should. Otherwise the market will continue like it has now, shrink and shrink until the only thing we will be getting from the comic book companies is movies (seeing as movies, television, merchadise and etc is where they make most of their money anyway.)

[Alpha Male]

This looks like a good series and The Writer seems to like a lot of the old school PM&IF characters. I would like to see Bob Diamond return so he do his sparring matches with Danny. How about Gordy or Lumus?

[XPac]

I don't know about Power man's glowing fist thing. You've already got Iron Fist after all. But I guess we'll see.

I always have a fondness for teenage heroes, and I do think Power Man and Iron Fist were fun back in the day. So I'll give this a shot.

[Will.S]

I am definitely getting this.

[klaww]

This is only a one-shot, right?
no harm in spending 3.99, even if its only ok.

[G. Boney]

No it's a mini series.

[Mateus_ds]

time to spend money on all of the Shadowland tie-ins!

[Sebastos]

Awesome preview, can't wait for this.

[klaww]

No it's a mini series.
How many issues is it?

[G. Boney]

How many issues is it?

Four.

Then there will be a 4 issue Power Man & Iron Fist mini in starting in January.

be careful what you wish for. Bob Diamond has mini-event sacrificial lamb written all over him; same with the sons of the tiger. i wonder what became of his job training movie stars.

[JessieMidnight]

The preview looks great. I was already going to get this mini, but now I'm more excited about it after seeing the preview.
