Gosh, I really liked that run– it wasn’t just an act of reinvention, it was a whole *venue* creation; it gave the Marvel universe this whole kung fu subsetting, viable as Asgard or Wakanda or Krakoa. Doing that, and making it feel like it was always *there*, implicit in the glimpses we had seen before is hard! It’s a bigger task than just revamping a moribund 70s hero, it created a mythology and a style and an argument that this should exist, these weird mystic martial artists dancing with each-other, waging a secret war over generations. To the extent that it reads less exciting now than it did in 2009, it’s because this promise was never realized, the argument ultimately lost. We may sometimes see them cameo in, eg, Ultimates or Spider Island– but in the end, they’re a footnote. And they didn’t have to be.
I agree that I really dig the new setting and wish they had run with it more. Glad you dig it as much as you do!
