Stories

  • Death Is a Ninja · 18 pages

    The Ninja transports Iron Fist to a mystic dimension where they can battle to the death in peace. He regales Danny with his origin story, his ties to K'un-Lun and how he was trapped in the Sacred Volume of Kali for many years. Iron Fist destroys the Ninja and returns to Earth to find the police mopping up the Kara-Kai death cult. Danny is cleared of Harold Meachum's death but feels lost as his vengeance against his parents' murderer is complete and he cannot return home to K'un-Lun for nine more years.

Publisher’s description
