 Essential Luke Cage, Power Man v1 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
Comments: Luke is big, bad and ready to rumble on the cover, featuring his signature costume (a John Romita design).
Poor Luke didn’t have the good fortune of Iron Fist, who suffered through second-stringers and newbies in Marvel Premiere, but graduated to the soon to be stellar Claremont/Byrne team for his short-lived solo title.
That comparison to Iron Fist is apt, I think, because Cage’s book lasted 50 issues, and then folded in Danny Rand as an ideal partner (Asian action films being the major competitor to Blaxploitation at the time), hoping for and achieving a synergy that kept the book alive for several more years.
