Friday Night Fights: Old School Chop Sockey
02.08.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsLately I’ve been reading the early Iron Fist stories, trying to get a better feel of the raw materials that Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction are working with to craft the all-kinds-of-bad-ass Immortal Iron Fist series. There’s a fair amount of 70s cheese to the early tales from Doug Moench, Chris Claremont, et al. [...]

Friday Night Fights: The Wrong End of a Silver Fist
The fist in question belongs to one Marc Spector, whose nom de superhero is Moon Knight. Before he went around mutilating people’s faces, he used to just lay a little smack down on the poor thugs. This example is from Essential Moon Knight Vol. 2, part of the excellent line of old school Marvel reprints [...]

Friday Night Fights: One Jive Move
I’m not sure a man dressed as a bird should be quite so flippant when he’s squaring off with Luke Cage. But then again Nighthawk is delivering the goods here in this panel from Defenders #17. Just like Bahlactus does.

Friday Night Fights: 100 Bullets, 2 Fists
11.23.07 | Permalink | 2 CommentsI still have time to answer the call of Bahlactus.
It starts with a vulgar display of power.
Then, I like that my brutal underground bareknuckle brawls have pseudo-philosophical tough-guy commentary.
In the noir-ish underbelly of 100 Bullets, as in real life, its usually a bad idea to bet against a guy named Jackhammer.
Because stuff [...]
