First Look – Iron Fist: The Living Weapon

April will bring us Iron Fist: The Living Weapon, a stand-alone series from Kaare Andrews with the intention to bring Danny Rand back to basics.

“I have two intentions with this project,” Andrews says. “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.”

“The defining aspect of Danny Rand is the loss of a father and a quest for honor and vengeance,” he continues. “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.”

“For readers who already know Iron Fist, we introduce a couple of new characters and make use of the world already established– but focus on keeping this story contained and accessible,” he assures. “For new readers, I’m trying to keep his condensed mythology very streamlined and fresh.”
