Staff Pick - Comic - Iron Fist (2017)
Comic Book Title: Â Iron Fist (2017)
What it is:  The (fictionally) living embodiment of Kung-Fu and Super Heroes. Iron Fist! A brand-spanking new comic book at issue #1. The spiritual follow up to Iron Fist: The Living Weapon (2014). We find the man, Danny Rand, struggling with his identity as Iron Fist. After the destruction of his adoptive home, K’un-Lun, it’s a struggle to tap into his Chi.  He's fearful that he's half the man he used to be and it's not the half he's willing to live with. Pushing himself to reconnect within may very well be what breaks him in the end.
Why it was picked:  Because the main characters show is being released on Netflix this same month, duh. :D Seriously though, I haven't enjoyed a fusion of comic books and Kung-Fu this much since I was introduced to the combo by Wu-Tang Clan in “Enter the Wu-Tang” some 20 years ago. A character like Iron Fist can resonate on such a level as is evident by such fan devotion as RZA of the Clan having done whatever he had to do to get in with Marvel & Netlfix to direct an episode titled “Immortal Emerges from Cave”. When I see such a glowing recommendation as that, I've gotta see for myself what the source material is like.
Who might like it: This seems like a perfect jumping on point for those familiar or not. Those of you looking for a strong book to bet on for your subscription list. Here ya go. Those who just aren't sure if they like the flavor of Kung-Fu in their comics, have no fear as Loot will be carrying Iron Fist in its membership library which is AH-maz-ING. If ya don't know, ya better ask somebody. ;)
