Danny Rand will rise again in ‘The Undead Iron Fist’

Following his death last year, the character will star in a new miniseries by Jason Loo and Fran Galán.

Last year’s Iron Fist 50th Anniversary Special ended on a bit of a downer, as it showed Danny Rand’s death … but then offered a glimmer of hope with a “bonus scene” you could access online that revealed he might not be so dead yet.

Well, he’s not quite so dead yet. Marvel has announced The Undead iron Fist, a four-issue miniseries by Jason Loo and Fran Galán that reveals what’s next for the character.

“I was so relieved to not encounter any fan backlash or outrage when I killed off Danny Rand. Because there was always a plan to bring him back, but we wanted to make the fans wait,” Loo said. “Not only was I busy plotting his next explosive chapter, Danny has been going through his own journey to find his way back into the 616 land of the living. And from the very first issue, he’s back swinging with ruthless vengeance. Artist Fran Galán is bringing so much wicked kineticism on every page, readers are going to be floored by this book.”

Marvel shared more details on what to expect from the story:

The Book of the Iron Fist declares that every IRON FIST will die by the age of 33…but who created this false prophecy? Danny Rand was killed…but can you truly kill an IMMORTAL IRON FIST? Learn the truth about the legacy of the Iron Fist as Danny Rand rises once more to snuff out those that threaten that legacy…before Danny’s time run out.

Phillip Tan drew the variant cover for the first issue:
