Power Man and Iron Fist – The Boys are Back in Town | Comics

When ex-convict Luke Cage showed up in Harlem City with his newfound enhanced abilities and met the other worldly Kung-Fu defender from K'un-Lun named Danny Rand AKA Iron Fist, they eventually banded the Heroes for Hire, Inc. Then they disbanded under some certain circumstances and after five years, they showed up at the East River dock to pick up their former associate Jennie Royce, who was framed for murdering Eugene Mason and is just released from Ryker's Island.

Taking her to the Excelsior Diner they offer Jennie to do anything for her that will help her get back on her feet, because they consider her as family. Besides, she already lost five years in prison for a false accusation and suffered without a valid reason. Since her ex-boyfriend owed a lot of money to many people and a necklace of her grandmother is now in someone else’s possession, which she would like to have back. The only problem is, it is currently owned by a notorious organized crime-boss named Lonnie Lincoln, or better known as the villainous Tombstone.

Luke Cage never liked it from the beginning and now seeing where it is going, he feels more uncomfortable as he shares history with Tombstone. However, they wanted to help Jennie for old times’ sake and Danny already promised her to get the necklace back. So, they go meet the villain in Harlem to talk about it. But Tombstone straight out refused of giving it back and their conversation eventually gone unpleasant when he assumes that they are accusing him of theft, whereas he won it from The Hood in a card game.

Before Luke and Iron Fist realize, they are surrounded by Tombstone's goons yet they took the necklace and fought their way out but couldn't hear the villain warning them about the necklace having magical powers. Upon handing it over to Jennie Royce at the Sisters of Mercy House, Luke and Danny leaves after hugging her one last time. Though Luke Cage feels quite uneasy with the fact that Jennie and Tombstone both have a different story about the necklace, Iron Fist points out that Lonnie Lincoln is probably lying here instead of their friend.

Back home, Jessica Jones asks Luke if he and Danny are going to be back again in action but Luke assures her that it was a one-time thing to help out a friend. Tombstone was going nuts over the necklace as it was a Supersoul Stone and tasks his group of henchmen to get the stone back for him. Jennie talks to her partner about their plan becoming a success who is revealed to be former criminal gang leader Mariah Dillard. Together as White Jennie and Black Mariah, they are gonna take over Harlem, when Tombstone loses his empire for failing to secure that artifact.

Power Man and Iron Fist – The Boys are Back in Town

Following the debut of the live-action Luke Cage TV Series as well as Iron Fist on Netflix in 2016, Marvel Comics have reunited one of the best buddy-team of comic books together again in their third ongoing volume of publication. To accomplish that, writer David Walker (Luke Cage – Caged!, Luke Cage – Sins of the Father) and artist Sanford Greene (Deadpool Team-Up – Good Buddies, Power Man and Iron Fist – Street Magic) were pulled on the driving wheels of this series to attract a lot of new readers to the awesomeness of these Heroes for Hire turned into The Avengers.

Back In The Hero Business

Collecting the first five issues from the monthly ongoing, this story however doesn’t content any lives at stake type of situation in it but was a fresh point to start reading about the duo who rocked the streets of Harlem, New York. Plus, a cameo from Doctor Strange in this little “Fiddle-Faddle” is something that you cannot simply miss. This long awaited return of the duos in action can also mean the reformation of The Defenders anytime soon in their fifth monthly series, with possibly Daredevil and Jessica Jones joining the gang.

Amazing Spider-Man – Spiral | Comics

Crime lords of New York are getting desperate for territory control and Spider-Man tries his best to contain the madness.

After dealing with events of Spider-Verse and coming back from Multiverse, Peter Parker was swinging around New York City as Amazing Spider-Man. He comes across Captain Yuri Watanabe of NYPD surrounding an abandoned building on a warrant from Detective Teddy Rangel, who got a tip about Tombstone raising an army.

Spidey offers his help as they were partners in crime-fighting before but Watanabe decides to do things by book this time. However, their conversation is interrupted when Tombstone's men starts shooting at them. Spider-Man quickly takes them aside from harm's way and bursts through an army of goons before taking down their boss.

Tombstone and his men are all arrested shortly but Teddy was taken to hospital to deal with serious injury. In court, Judge Howell lets Lonnie Lincoln walk free from custody due to lack of evidence and Yuri gets heat from Chief Yaborough. Peter goes to talk to her at hospital in his civilian guise and a comatose Teddy eventually dies later.

That night, Watanabe gets a surprise visit from Martin Li AKA Mister Negative, who is revealed to be Teddy's source. He hands her photograph evidence of Judge Howell dealing drugs with Tombstone's guys. Even with this evidence at hand, she fails to convince police chief to issue a warrant against Howell and decides to go as Wraith.

She meets with Spider-Man to raid a construction site to find records on him and blew up a vault with anti-tank missile to get it. As Spidey argues over her vigilante methods of working, Mister Negative keeps an eye over her from afar. This led to Howell's arrest but Chief Yaborough tells her that she is taking things personally.

In uptown Manhattan, Goblin King and Hammerhead discuss terms of taking over Tombstone's territory when they are interrupted by everyone's friendly neighborhood Wall-Crawler. He informs Yuri about some sort of meeting at her precinct and both of them showed up to that gathering at Empire Royale Theater on midnight.

Though they managed to trash all mobs but Goblin King managed to flee and Hammerhead drags Spider-Man to a cage fight. He gets the first drop by sucker-punching Spidey, only to get beaten twice as hard to a knockout. As they two leave arguing over Wraith fighting for territory control, Mister Negative watches them from a nearby seat.

Shortly afterwards, a turf war breaks in between goons of Hammerhead and Tombstone at third precinct of Manhattan. Black Cat shows up to show them who is in charge but none of them are willing to join her. A new Crime Master approaches her suggesting that she try to win favor of those mobsters by breaking them out of jail.

Tipped off by Mister Negative about this plan of a breakout, Spidey and Wraith head to Ryker's Island. There, they fend off members of Enforcers and though Web-head gets mauled by Cat, he managed to convince her to walk away. Despite his efforts to contain the situation, one of Mr. Negative's Inner Demons henchmen shot Tombstone.

Though his attempt to form an alliance with Circus of Crime fell apart, he managed to deduce Captain Watanabe was Wraith all along and set her up to do his bidding. Yuri and Spidey soon find themselves teaming-up once again to foil another evil plan of Mr. Negative that involves fighting The Ringmaster and his entourage of crime.

Amazing Spider-Man – Spiral

In post-Spider-Verse period, writer Gerry Conway (Amazing Spider-Man – Renew Your Vows – Brawl In The Family, Amazing Spider-Man – Renew Your Vows – The Venom Experiment) took charge of mainline Spider-Man narrative along with talented artist Carlo Barberi (Deadpool – Suicide Kings, Ororo – Before the Storm) for a brief time.

Collecting issues #16.1-20.1 from Amazing Spider-Man monthly ongoing comic-book series, "Spiral" effectively wrapped up its third volume of publication from Marvel Comics in 2015 with a basic tale of gang wars in New York. Covers were done by artist Arthur Adams (Fantastic Four – Monsters Unleashed, Fear Itself – The Fearless).

Spiraling Out of Control

Following events of "Shadowland", New York underworld sees a power vacuum in absence of Kingpin. Most of these fights for territory were between Hammerhead and Tombstone, while Mister Negative was cooking his own plans. Things went worse from bad when Crime Master and reassembled Enforcers decides to help Black Cat.

Previous storyline "Graveyard Shift" was more about Peter Parker finding his place in his own company Parker Industries and among friends. "Spiral" is more about fighting old enemies under new circumstances that changes people forever. Most notably, recent events have drastically changed Captain Yuri Watanabe and her ways.
