Lumberjanes_001_coverAEach week, comic fans are faced with dozens upon dozens of new releases. That type of choice can be overwhelming. We go through the new releases each week to help you out and decide which comics are your best bets! Check out below for this week’s picks.

Pick of the Week: Lumberjanes #1 (BOOM! Box/BOOM! Studios) – Five best friends spending the summer at Lumberjane scout camp…defeating yetis, three-eyed wolves, and giant falcons…what’s not to love?!

All-New Ultimates #1 (Marvel) – Marvel takes the next steps in their Ultimate Universe after the destruction that was Galactus.

Batman: Eternal #1 (DC Comics) – DC has Batman going weekly, in a series that promises to spotlight more than just Batman, but the many other individuals that make up his corner of the DC universe.

Flash Gordon #1 (Dynamite) – Flash is back! He saved every one of us you know. Pulp action at its finest.

Iron Fist: Living Weapon #1 (Marvel) – The vastly underused character is back in a solo series. We’re hoping its as good as his previous run.

The Walking Dead #125 (Skybound/Image Comics) – Kirkman rushes the series to the conclusion of “All Out War” and I seriously have no idea as to who lives and who dies.

Preview: The Fiery Fist Strikes in a New Look at Iron Fist: The Living Weapon #1!

This April, the fist of K’un Lun returns in Iron Fist: The Living Weapon #1, an all-new series written and drawn by Kaare Andrews! And you’ve never seen an Iron Fist like this before!

High above the city of New York in his multi-million dollar penthouse, Danny Rand a.k.a. Iron Fist is haunted by the choices he’s made. Choosing death over life brings with it many consequences. But when a message from Iron Fist’s mystical homeland of K’un Lun calls Danny back – he’ll be forced to revisit the blood soaked origin of betrayal and vengeance that has plagued him for so long.

In an interview with Marvel.com Kaare Andrews said:

Danny is going to be put through the wringer like never before. I love to punish my characters. To make them bleed. Watch them struggle against impossible odds, and see if they can find the strength inside themselves to survive—the truth that will be the biggest hurdle of them all. He’s been hiding from it for too long. He doesn’t have to uncover it, so much as survive it. The truth will be coming for him like a freight train. And there will be a reckoning.

But revenge is a weapon that cuts both ways. And Danny will learn that revenge can come at a high price. Will he survive the bloodletting?

Iron Fist: THE Living Weapon From Kaare Andrews Announced

Marvel officially announced today an all-new on-going series, Iron Fist: THE Living Weapon by the striking talent of writer and artist, Kaare Andrews.

This spring, the fiery fist of vengeance strikes once again! Masterfully orchestrated by writer/artist, Kaare Andrews, Danny Rand once again channels the power of the ancient dragon, Shou-Lao, to become Iron Fist in an all-new series.

Kaare explained in a release:

I have two intentions with this project. The first is to tell a bare bones story that does not impede itself with the layers and layers of continuity that Iron Fist has become enriched with. The second, and more important, is to reach into the core of the character and re-explore who Danny Rand is. Reinvention through core exploration.

In the character’s early history, starting with his first appearance in 1974, Danny was on a path for revenge as he hunted down the man who murdered his father, and Andrews promises to return to how it all began, “The defining aspect of Danny Rand is the loss of a father and a quest for honor and vengeance. Yet, these are themes that haven’t been explored again since his origin story back in the 70s. We need to bring Danny back to this state of blind rage and self-destruction. Remember – this is a man who traded immortality for vengeance. And the consequences of that are what I’m most interested in.”

When the mystical city of K’un-Lun comes under siege, the prodigal son, Danny Rand must come home – in more ways than one.  Is Iron Fist prepared for a threat that hearkens back to that horrible day when his father dropped to his death on a Himalayan mountaintop?  Can anything prepare him for the truth that’s waiting for him in the rubble that was once the city of K’un-Lun – the place of Iron Fist’s birth?

Iron Fist: THE Living Weapon hits comic shops and bookstores this April!
