Mothers, lock up your daughters when we revisit the continuing adventures of that dashing rogue, Orson Randall, the Golden [...]
In spending a great deal of time and effort delving into the history of the Iron Fist line, the creative team have established the potential for a number of interesting one-shots or specials, of which ‘Orson Randall and the Green Mist of Death’ is one. Now, I’m not usually too sure about these one-shots or Annuals; sometimes these can come across as just ways to make extra money, and often the original creative teams aren’t even involved. However, in this instance, the history is so rich, and the writing is so strong (Fraction here takes on the solo scripting chores for this issue), you are almost guaranteed an enjoyable adventure. The story doesn’t tie too heavily into current events, meaning that you don’t need to read this to enjoy the on-going story. It does, however, promise to provide an explanation for the cliff-hanger of # 12, in which the Prince of Orphans, fighting against K’un Lun and the Iron Fist in a tournament of the Heavenly Cities, announces his allegiance to the revolution being engineered by Lei Kung the Thunderer.
