    Default New Avengers #25 *Spoilers*

    * The issue is set entirely in K'un-Lun, with no Avengers present
    * Centuries ago, Master Yu Ti had a recurring dream of a red-haired girl meeting the Phoenix and releasing a Dragon.
    * In the streets of the city he finds a red-haired girl named Fongji, product of her mother's dalliance with an outsider. She does not talk
    * Yu Ti and Lei Kung take her away to be trained as the Iron Fist.
    * Present-day Lei Kung reads this account and is told by present-day Yu Ti that these records have been sealed until Phoenix returns. Yu Ti tells him he must teach Iron Fist what to do, because the fate of the world is riding on it.

    Lots of pretty colors. There's an interesting visual effect of the girl's "dragon" symbol becoming a blended dragon-phoenix. But a little disappointing to read a New Avengers title with no, well, New Avengers.

    Wolverine ignored the fact it was the Dark Phoenix, not Jean Grey. Dark Phoenix looked like Jean.
    Not to mention is ignoring Rachel Grey, who has gone Phoenix many other times.

    Couldn't care less for the Phoenix's history, I'm more worried about Bendis messing with Iron Fist mythos. I caught a few problems here and there, but they have the potential to be explained in later issues so I'll hold my tongue for now.

    I'm more surprised people haven't learned their lesson about buying Bendis.
    I mean, do they enjoy him that much to continually make him one of the top sellers at Marvel?

    I picked this up to keep the complete event going in my collection, but was not thrilled with it. BORING. Next.

    What bothers me is that this may hurt interest when it comes to people who look at Iron Fist. This issue was lacking, even though it does potentially set up something good. Immortal Iron Fist is infinitely better, so i hope this issue doesn't have people who are unfamiliar with Iron Fist think he's a boring character, he's really not.

    I encourage anyone unsatisfied with this issue to read Immortal Iron Fist instead!
