A few months back, Marvel Comics killed off Danny Rand, the Iron Fist, and right on his anniversary no less. But true to form he’ll be back — though perhaps briefly — in The Undead Iron Fist, a new four-issue miniseries written by Jason Loo with art by Fran Galán.
“I was so relieved to not encounter any fan backlash or outrage when I killed off Danny Rand. Because there was always a plan to bring him back, but we wanted to make the fans wait,” Loo said via press release. “Not only was I busy plotting his next explosive chapter, Danny has been going through his own journey to find his way back into the 616 land of the living. And from the very first issue, he’s back swinging with ruthless vengeance. Artist Fran Galán is bringing so much wicked kineticism on every page, readers are going to be floored by this book.”
One could wonder why there was no fan backlash or outrage about the death, but we’ll let you mull that one on your own. Instead, here’s the synopsis for the first issue, as well as covers by Whilce Portacio and Phillip Tan. The Undead Iron Fist hits stores on September 10, 2025.
