Lin Lie, aka the current Iron Fist of Marvel, is back in a brand new miniseries: Deadly Hands of K’un-Lun. And he’s brought a few fisty friends with him.
Written by Yifan Jiang with art by Paco Medina, the five-issue series will find Lin Lie leading a bunch of other martial artists against his brother, in a case of sibling rivalry gone very bad. Along the way, the book will also explore the future of Iron Fist, including what’s up with Danny Rand.
“As much as I love so many Marvel characters, the K’un-Lun/Iron Fist corner of the universe has always been the closest to my heart,” Jiang said via press release. “And as someone who’s been with Lin Lie almost from the very beginning, I feel the weight of the huge responsibility to take care of him in his next chapter. On top of all that, I know we’re here to entertain you, so trust me– you won’t see the punches coming!”
Added Medina, “I’m so happy and excited to be working on this new Iron Fist series!It’s something completely new and full of challenges for me. I’ve already had fun doing some designs, and now I’m really focused on creating the most immersive story possible. Thanks to Yifan, I’m filling up on references and lots of details to make this world more real! I love Lin Lie’s Iron Fist design, created by Jim Cheung, and I think it’s going to be an honor for me to give my own version. There’s lots of fighting and martial arts poses—how could I not be excited?”
