POWER MAN AND IRON FIST #5

(W) David Walker (A/CA) Flaviano Armentaro

THE LINES ARE OPEN, CALLERS!

• What's the TRUE story of the radio DJ, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Manslaughter Marsdale, and the hot dog vendor?

• There are TWO sides to every story? Luke and Danny should be so lucky!

• Luke is trying to control the narrative, but it's impossible when NO ONE can get enough of POWER MAN AND IRON FIST!

Rated T+

This is probably marvel's best series out right now

Looks good

Victor Alvarez probably won't be pleased if he hears that radio show! They're basically telling him he's not worthy of the Power Man name!

i hate the art so much

Looks good! I'll have to jump onboard.

@jsawyerjj: Its been fantastic so far. Jump on the party bus with the rest of us cool kids!

@lagozzino: LOL! Will do!

Oh man! I am so on this!!!

BTW is Danny working on the a repaint of the cinematic Fantasticar???!!! I love the symbol though?

One of my favorite Marvel books right now, behind only Vision, Black Widow, and Ant-Man.

One of Marvel's best books right now! So glad I tried it.

Read the first two issues and loved them. Is this book safe from Civil War?

Arguably my favorite book right now. Love it

Arts a little weird for me, but can anybody recommend it story wise so far?

One of Marvels best book out currently. The writing and art both work well together. I love the dynamic between Luke and Danny and Jessica too.

The next couple issues are a tie-in arc, but I get the feeling it'll be a loose tie-in. Like "some person involved in Civil War II hires Power Man and Iron Fist to guard someone/run an errand for them", without our leads actually getting involved in the meat of the crossover.

There's an interview with the writer where he really wants to emphasize that he's keeping his tie-in to the event contained the "street level". http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/exclusive-walker-explains-how-civil-war-ii-tests-power-man-iron-fists-friendship

@lagozzino: Thanks. This is reassuring! It looks like Power man and Iron fist may grow into my favorite current marvel series and it would've been a shame if it lost momentum because of this event.

Has anyone else noticed that Luke and Jessica's relationship seems to be the most stable in Marvel behind the Reed and Sue's ? Does this make them the MU's Second Family?

Man this is one of those series that I wished was an animated series. If they took this art style, and made a Black Dynamite like show on television, that would be perfect.
