RIP Legendary Sal Buscema His pencils rarely touched covers or interiors featuring Iron Fist, Shang Chi, Sons of the Tiger and White Tiger but when they did it was magical. Sal’s fight between Hector Ayala and Peter Parker in Spectacular Spider Man 9 is amazing!

On this day in 2019, Avengers Volume 8, Issue 13 was released. The issue told the origin and journey of Fan Fei, the first Iron Fist, before joining Odin and his Avengers.

After all the doubt I and others have had, White Tiger got a solo cover for Deadly Hands of Kung Fu!

The year is 2021. Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings hits theaters. Most MCU fans love it. Months later, Eternals hits theaters. Most fans hate it. Based on that, can someone explain to me how Eternals gets a 50th Anniversary issue but Shang Chi got nothing?

On this day in 2021, Iron Fist: Heart of the Dragon began. The series ran for five issues and was the last time Danny Rand had the chi of Shou-Lao.

These covers for Deadly Hands of Kun-Lun go hard!

Takes away from the interior pages of Deadly Hands of Kun-Lun 1. What is Fooh building? What’s in the box?! Why was a plaid pattern used on Pei’s dress instead of coloring it? I feel like I’ve seen that White Tiger pose before?

Concept art for Lin Lie’s brother Feng. I love the armor and his mask is the symbol of Chiyou. It seems the red Iron Fist symbol behind the Deadly Hands of Kun-Lun logo might have some meaning with all of this concept art for the issue 3 announcement.

Tiger’s Faithful Daughter? More like Tiger’s Daughter of Malice. Seeing this concept art for this and the Dark Army/War Fist makes me think we will see other version like this for the rest of the Immortal Weapon.

There it is! The symbol of Chiyou! Looking at the red energy on the Dark Army/War Fist, my guess is they draw their power from the God of War.

Who are the War Fist on the cover of Deadly Hands of Kun-Lun 3?!

On this day in 2006, Misty Knight and Colleen Wing would get their first series as Daughters of the Dragon. The mini series would run fo six issues.

Preview pages from Undead Iron Fist 4. My biggest question. If the Chi-Lin that murdered Danny isn’t possessing Luke, where is it? Is it still possessing Razor Fist because that would be a sneaky way to bring Shang Chi into Deadly Hands of Kun-Lun. Thanks to @aiptcomics.com for the preview!
