Power Man and Iron Fist, Volume 2: Civil War II by David F. Walker
3.0
I am continuing on with my goal to read every single Civil War II comic, and the “meh” books are thankfully taking over for the “ugh” books. Power Man and Iron Fist in Power Man and Iron Fist, Vol. 2: Civil War II have a decidedly “meh” book.
An interesting decision was made to give give Luke Cage one artist and Danny another. I thought this was creative, and it works well to distinguish between the two parallel stories. Unfortunately, Luke’s artist is not to my taste, so I found myself not enjoying his story nearly as much.
This book does a great job of illustrating how completely insane Carol is. It almost seems like she’s realizing she’s insane at this point – which, honestly, if she realizes by the end of this story how much she’s fucked up, I will be majorly relieved. At this point her character is so far out of bounds I want to cry. She used to be one of my favorite heroes, but now she’s just…a villain.
Apart from those two points, Power Man and Iron Fist, Vol. 2 is a forgettable comic. It’s not offensive, but it doesn’t say anything interesting. Captain America: Sam Wilson has a much better story from a similar perspective, and makes a considerably better book.
