An Iron Fist Epic From Legendary Creator Larry Hama!
Someone is killing the ancient dragons that power the Heavenly Cities, and only Iron Fist and the Deadly Weapons can stop them… if they can discover who they are in time! Zombie armies, mystical portals, dragon hearts, some of the Marvel Universe’s deadliest fighters all converge in one action-packed extravaganza, and the fate of all worlds hangs in the balance! Larry Hama and David Wachter are building a story that hits as hard as the Iron Fist itself!
And we have a peek at three pages from the first issue of the Marvel series.

The last series featuring the character in a prominent role was Iron Fist: Phantom Limb, which found Danny consumed by guilt over his inability to save a child. And all while dodging a demon plotting to steal his chi. But from the looks of things, this series will take things in a totally different direction. Whatever winds up happening, we will always be here for more adventures of the Immortal Iron Fist.
