  • what happened to Iron Fist the first time

    or…. “you wouldn’t like Denny O’Neil when he’s angry”

    Newsarama reviews the death of Iron Fist back in the final issue of Power Man and Iron Fist.

    I am removing the comments field. Apparently there are now spam tools for auto-generating comments and posting links to porn. Great.
