Hey, I'm from Brooklyn. I'm going to call myself Mr. Friendly.

He looks like he has fangs in the last panel. Maybe we’re finally seeing Saberfist.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
Couldn't he have chopped the guns in half instead of punching them tho

Bold move for NSM to announce the Newspaper Amalgam universe with a combination Iron Fist/Richard Dragon.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
I wonder if there'll be a backstory for the grizzled Iron Fist

Hell, what are the chances it isn't Danny Rand?

Unless someone pulls up how much of a deep cut a bearded Iron Fist with an open jacket is because he had an appearance in a random issue from 30 years ago.

All I could think once I saw that strip is about how Spidey is going to take that gun-chopping fist to the head at some point.

He can focus psychic energy to punch stuff really hard because a dragon taught him how. Now he fights crime.

Quick summary....Iron Fist is a guy named Danny Rand. He learned martial arts from this mysterious Chinese martial arts master from an alternate dimension, and then, after killing an immortal dragon (Yes, I know), gained the power of the Iron Fist, which is like all the chi, which he can use to power his martial arts so he can punch anything.

We're going to get a solid week of Danny explaining this to Spider-man, you're wasting your posting powers.

Probably, but the time line of the comic will go something like this...

Week of Danny fighting the thugs, week of the FBI agent starting to run away, week of Peter explaining to the cab driver why he wants to go to the Bugle, week of the driver and Peter arguing over directions, week of the cab being caught in traffic and Peter trying to decide whether to walk the rest of the way, week of Peter trying to figure out if he should tip the guy because the guy didn't even take him to the destination, week of Peter and the driver arguing over the tip, week of the fleeing FBI agent knocking over Peter with Iron Fist in pursuit, week of Peter changing to Spiderman to figure out what's going on, week of Spiderman. And Iron Fist fighting because Spiderman thinks Danny a bad guy trying to kidnap the FBI guy, and then finally the two of them teaming up, where we get Danny's backstory.

So that takes us to August before we even get it.

It will be similar to Thor getting switched around in the 90s and having a new, grizzled and hip attitude.

Eh, Iron Fist has had a number of looks over the years. His current tracksuit costume is really, really good, but his classic one isn't too great, I'll grant.

That's definitely gonna be the Netflix Iron Fist because he has a beard. So this guy is basically going to be the Worst Iron Fist.

Iron Fist is also the Immortal Weapon of Kun Lun, one of the seven cities of heaven that align with the Earth-normal every so often and merge into one big city called the Heart of Heaven every 88 years. Then they hold a big old fighting tournament.

He is good buds with Luke Cage and sometimes beats up hoodlums with him. He is both a street-level guy and mystical-bullshit tier.

Other immortal weapons include Fat Cobra, who is great.

I dunno, the track suit's all right, but it gives a Bruce Lee vibe (obviously) and Danny's never been the Bruce Lee of Marvel, that's the other guy.

It's like netflix realized how disliked their Iron Fist was and just decided to run with it. The Defenders were pretty much "Let's Dunk On Iron Fist" the series-
