Marvel pulls no punches in 2017 with new Iron Fist comic

Don’t let your guard down next year, because there’s a brand new hard-hitting solo series coming for Danny Rand, also known as the immortal Iron Fist. As announced this morning by The Hollywood Reporter, the new series â€" simply titled Iron Fist â€" will be helmed by Ed Brisson, writer of The Violent and the upcoming Bullseye, and veteran artist Mike Perkins, best known recently for his work on Captain America and The Stand.

The first issue will drop in March, and will take heavy inspiration from 2006’s Immortal Iron Fist and from the character’s most recent series Iron Fist: The Living Weapon, which left Danny and the mystical city of K’un Lun in very tenuous positions. Writer Ed Brisson talked to THR about where readers will find them as the new series begins:

“As for where K’un-Lun is and how that affects Danny … That’s going to be a large part of what this first arc is about. K’un-Lun is the source of his powers and now that the city lays in ruins, Danny’s connection is severed. This affects his ability to actually be Iron Fist. His whole identity seems to be slipping away from him and he doesn’t know how to hold onto it.”

This will run concurrently with the current Power Man and Iron Fist buddy book, and is obviously meant to pick up readers that come into shops after their interest is piqued by Marvel and Netflix’s live action Iron Fist series, which is set to release on March 17. But this announcement left many fans wondering what this news meant for Iron Fists, a series by Kaare Andrews and Afu Chan announced back in July. The series was to feature Danny training the next Iron Fist, a young girl named Pei, but there has been no news since. Luckily, Andrews confirmed on Twitter this morning that the series is still coming.

I’m a huge Iron Fist fan, so I will take all the Danny Rand Marvel wants to dish out, and Iron Fist has a top-notch creative team that looks set to build upon the wonderful mythology that has already been established for the character. Does the new series have you ready to punch a dragon in the heart? Check out the awesome first issue cover by Jeff Dekal, then let us know in the comments below.

A Marvel Illustrator Talks Adding Emotional Heft to Static Pages

Giaco Furino â€" Nov 27 2016

Even in static pages, Chris Samnee adds humor and realism. From Marvel's Thor: The Mighty Avenger. Screencap via

In this week’s episode of Strip Panel Naked, host Hass Otsmane-Elhaou continues his conversation with Marvel illustrator Chris Samnee. This week, the pair focus on Samnee’s work on Marvel's Thor: The Mighty Avenger, a series made along with Roger Langridge and Matthew Wilson. The page at the center of this episode follows a very simple set-up and payoff: Thor’s sidekick/cinematic love-interest Jane Foster (soon to become future Thor herself, though that’s a longer story) takes a call at her desk and hears a commotion outside her office. That’s it. But through small details and masterful layouts, Samnee’s able to add character and life to this opening page.

Samnee talks very plainly about plotting out straightforward scenes. “Ideally all I’m doing is putting myself in the character’s shoes,” he explains to Strip Panel Naked. “That’s all I was doing on this one. I’d read the dialogue and figure out how she would move and then figure out where the camera needed to be.” He goes on to describe what he thinks of pages without high action, “The people talking...that’s easy.”

To get the emotions of Jane right for this page, Samnee gets physical. “I act out all the emotions, but I do that with a fight scene, too. I act it out in my office. I do all the beats to make sure it can physically work in a fight scene and I do the same thing when somebody’s talking on the phone for six panels.”

In the end, it's all about connecting with the reader for Samnee: "What am I going to have to do to make an emotional impact?" asks Samnee. "That's not exactly the scriptwriter's job. It's part of my job, it's one of my requirements, and it's something I take pride in doing."
