When Marvel Comics killed off Danny Rand, The Iron Fist, it didn't cause much of a fuss. Something the writer Jason Loo was grateful for as now he is bringing Iron Fist back in The Undead Iron Fist by Loo and Fran Galán, launching from Marvel in September. "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 explained. "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."
