Danny Rand is back in action as Iron Fist courtesy of Marvel’s new ongoing series which coincidentally hits shelves shortly after Iron Fist’s Netflix debut.
My Take: I am looking forward to this new Iron Fist series as the new plot reminds me of the many old kung-fu films I’d watch growing up where a young martial artist must fight various masters on a path of vengeance. The only difference in this series is that the masters have the vendetta against the Iron Fist. I feel the plot of the book is more in line with a miniseries versus an ongoing series. We won’t have to wait long to see how it’s received as the book hits comic shop shelves next month.
Check out some of the covers as well as a sneak peek of issue #1 below.

Danny has always straddled two worlds – Earth and the mystical realm of K’un-Lun. Now, with K’un-Lun in ruins, he’ll question his place in both more than ever. The chi fueling his fists is wavering, yet still, he fights on. Fighting to prove his worth, he’ll push himself to his breaking point. But a bigger battle than he can handle may have found him first. Whisked away to the mysterious island of Liu-Shi, he’ll come face-to-face with the fight of his life! With nothing but his fists and his feet, the Immortal Iron Fist will step into the ring with the island’s deadly Seven Masters! Each possessing mystical power and each with their own vendetta against the Iron Fist, what hope does Danny stand against the Bull, the Bear, the Eel, the Rabbit, the Rat, the Snake and the Wolf?!
A trial of mythic proportions awaits, True Believer. Fists and feet will fly when IRON FIST #1 comes to comic shops and digital devices everywhere on March 22nd!
