It has been a day of downs and ups; a real rollercoaster of a ride for Iron Fist fans. As we round the corner into the weekend, Marvel Comics has revealed who is claiming the title of Iron Fist!
Alyssa Wong and Michael YG are teaming for a new five-issue Iron Fist mini-series.
After giving up his power to save the world earlier this year in IRON FIST: HEART OF THE DRAGON, Danny Rand believes he’s seen the last of the Iron Fist. But when demons begin to attack cities around the world, a new hero appears, hands blazing with the Chi of Shou-Lao the Undying! Who is this new Iron Fist? And does his power really come from the Dragon of K’un-Lun… Or from something far more sinister? Fans will have to wait until the first issue to discover his identity but they can see him now on the stunning cover for IRON FIST #1 showcasing a brand-new costume design by superstar artist Jim Cheung!
“It’s an incredible honor to introduce a new Iron Fist to the Marvel Universe,” said Wong in a press release from Marvel Comics. “I’m excited to delve into the comic’s rich mythos and build on it. What does it mean for someone to take up the mantle of the Iron Fist right now, today? As a newcomer, how does one interact with legacy, and how does one honor it while forging a new path?
“I’m so stoked to work with artist Michael YG, colorist Jay Ramos, and the rest of the incredible team on this book. And writing this character, who views things through fresh eyes, feels very special to me.”
Iron Fist #1 arrives on February 16, 2022.
