Yesterday Likeadeuce-from-LJ came to visit, and it was great fun; she brought me a giant stack of comics and we talked about lots of fangirly things. We also went to a comic/book swap hosted by someone from her flist, which was fun, though I was wayyyy out of my depth to be discussing any sort of comics canon with these people (case in point: discussion of Oliver Quinn, I said something vague about "but he was mean to Roy" and then IT WAS ON about how very Wrong On The Internet I was). Also, saying "Really all I'm interested in in the DCU is Jason Todd" will get you a lot of blank stares from normal fans. :(
But! Deuce loaned me the three trades so far of the current incarnation of Immortal Iron Fist, and I'm all asquee. I read the first one last night, and Danny Rand is just great, and the appearance by Luke, Misty, and Colleen makes me want to go find some Heroes For Hire. So awesome. (Luke/Danny/Misty/Colleen foursome alllllllways.)
I'm having the critical twinges regarding Danny Rand the white-boy scion of a megacompany being The Champion of Mystical Asian Kingdom, but, well, old-school Marvel backstory and I'm not sure what's to be done about it.
I also love how the Iron Fist mythology *really* seems to parallel the Slayer mythology, and I want to know if this is from the old Iron Fist stuff and so maybe inspired Joss, or if Fraction and Brubaker in re-launching it borrowed *from* Joss. And I want like a million fics about the past Iron Fists. Especially the female one we glimpse briefly in the first trade. Maybe there will be more about her. Deuce seemed to think there was, but she didn't remember very well.
Also also, while I'm being ridiculous about this anyway, there needs to be some kind of Danny Rand porn that incorporates an "Iron Fist" pun. What?
In other news, Racetrack panicked at Deuce being in her house, because she is antisocial, and bit the hell out of me when I tried to pick her up and move her, so that wasn't quite so great. And I really need to do laundry and buy groceries today, but I don't WANT to. So. Dilemma.
