True Believers: Marvel Knights 20th Anniversary - Power Man and Iron Fist #1 (re:view)

A dollar for your comic! Luke Cage is on a rampage through Iron Fist's home to look for Misty Knight. It's not going to be that easy he will find... Let's dive in!
I don't think it was intended for a comedic opening but I sure did find it humorous that it opens up with Colleen staying over at Iron Fist's property as her place getting remodelled, but of course, Power Man busts through the wall and it would seem Iron Fist is now due for some remodelling as well. 

Anyway, there's that argument to be had if Power Man really turned full villain which was the impression Colleen was under as she has to work with the brute force of Power Man and she does make work of him... werk! It's interesting to see the dynamic as instead of having two titans thug it out. It's actually quite refreshing to have thoughts panned out their moves during a tussle and flight might just be the best option especially knowing what you're up against which is what Colleen does. 
This also applies to Misty as her thoughts are on display... come to think of it, it is a thought-focused comic as all three (Colleen, Misty and Iron Fist) uses their thoughts to compose their strategy as they know they are at no feat of Power Man's strength.

The emotions on the characters' faces are beautifully displayed from the sense of urgency from Colleen to the penultimate moment when Power Man almost rinses the air out of Iron Fist. The moment captured in his eyes was so strong that my wig flew into the next universe.

I feel that this layers Luke Cage's character with so much depth and continue the very mystery of what ends up with the loved ones that he so needed to capture Misty Knight for.
