Iron Fist Hiii-YAA!

The new series, “The Immortal Iron Fist,” has been pretty excellent for the first six issues. I never was a fan of the 70s comic, nor the Heroes For Hire series where he teamed up with Power-Man, aka Luke Cage. David Aja makes this once cheesy hero look pretty slick. The story is great too, infusing Kung-Fu mythology with modern day action scenes and witty dialog. Iron Fist uses his powers to do all kinds of new things. And he still punches and kicks bad guys.

An Iron Fist movie is in production for a 2008 release, with Ray Park donning the green and yellow tights. It’s going to be directed by the director of “Are We Done Yet?”

Really, Marvel?
