Premise

As Lin Feng leads an army of demons in an attempt to conquer the Seven Heavenly Cities, his younger brother Lin Lie, the latest warrior to bear the title of Iron Fist, assembles a team of superpowered heroes and martial artists from across the Marvel Universe to help him stop Feng, including fellow Iron Fist Pei and their predecessor Ghost Fist, as well as Elektra, White Fox, White Tiger, Karnak,[1] and Aero.[2]

Publication history

In November 2025, Marvel Comics announced a five-issue comic book limited series titled Deadly Hands of K'un-Lun, with Yifan Jiang as writer and Paco Medina as artist.[3][4] Jiang described the series as a "mini event" that serves as the climax to the story of protagonist Lin Lie / Iron Fist and his arch-enemy and older brother, Lin Feng. Jiang also called the series an "ensemble, not unlike" the video game Marvel Rivals (2024); he had previously worked as a writer on that game.[2] Deadly Hands of K'un-Lun is scheduled to begin publication on February 18, 2026.[5]
