Review/plot:
Claremont is gone and the quality of this series has gone down but this issue has an important development: Power Man and Iron Fist officially become partners.

In a prelude to their official partnership (which comes at the end of this issue), Luke and Danny defend a bank from a loser super-villain called the Incinerator.

  • Power Man recently survived a direct hit from a cadillac in Power Man & Iron Fist #52, but when faced with being hit by a five ton truck he tries a different tactic. He still rams into it, mind you; he just does so from an angle so it tips over.

This may be the most dismissive page I have ever seen on your site. Sadly, it is richly deserved.

Ahh, Matthew. There's always Werewolf By Night #2's original A+ review :-D
I'm really eager to read Jo Duffy's run, which set the tone for 2016's incarnation, I think,
more than any other.

Hah! Never had occasion to read that WBN review before, since I never followed the strip. And my Marvel University colleague, Professor Tom Flynn, would find that issue of interest, because he's obsessed with the shark scene from Lucio Fulci's ZOMBIE. But I was referring to this page's length as much as anything else, and you'll have to admit that even fnord's original WBN review is both much longer and a whole lot more fun.
