Marvel Announces Digital-Only ‘Immortal Iron Fists’ Comic
Marvel has announced a new partnership with Comixology to publish original digital comic books exclusively on the Comixology and Amazon Kindle platforms. As revealed at Marvel's "Next Big Thing" panel at SDCC today, the first fruit of that partnership will be the mini-series Immortal Iron Fists.
Immortal Iron Fists will be written by Kaare Andrews (Spider-Man: Reign) and drawn by Afu Chan (Power Man & Iron Fist). This six-issue series is a continuation of Andrews' work on Iron Fist: The Living Weapon, though it's also being billed as a fresh jumping-on point for new readers. Immortal Iron Fists will focus both on Pei, a young monk coming to terms with being the youngest Iron Fist in history, and Danny Rand, now charged with training the newest heir to the Iron Fist mantle.
