Marvel Comics just announced yet
another addition to their All-New Marvel NOW ! Initiative, Danny Rand, aka Iron
Fist. The character will be returning to his own comic title, which will be drawn
and written by Kaare Andrews.
“I have two intentions with this
project," Andrews said. "The first is to tell a bare bones story that
does not impede itself with the layers and layers of continuity that Iron Fist
has become enriched with. The second, and more important, is to reach into the
core of the character and re-explore who Danny Rand is. Reinvention through
core exploration.”
Andrews added that the new series
will be focusing on the roots of Danny Rand and his quest for vengeance.
“The defining aspect of Danny
Rand is the loss of a father and a quest for honor and vengeance. Yet, these
are themes that haven’t been explored again since his origin story back in the
70s. We need to bring Danny back to this state of blind rage and self-destruction.
Remember – this is a man who traded immortality for vengeance. And the
consequences of that are what I’m most interested in.”
Iron Fist will also be making his
live action debut in a partnership between Marvel and Netflix in July, alongside
Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Daredevil and The Defenders.
