NEW MERCH ALERT! Hasbro is releasing a Power Man and Iron Fist figure two-pack as part of their celebration of Marvel's 85th anniversary. The figures officially go on sale in September, but pre-orders are open now, so go, go, go!
Miyamoto Usagi: You must wait until the time is right. One must not spring the trap before the prey is in it.
If the Usagi Chronicles had gotten more seasons I would have loved for Yuichi to have consistently gotten ancient wisdom from his ancestor in a similar way to Randy getting advice from the Ninja-Nomicon in RC9GN where Yuichi would have to spend the episode either misinterpreting the advice or trying to figure out was it means or is for.
was watching samurai rabbit with my aunt, (who does animation as a hobby) and we were laughing at how slow everything is.
and when this scene came on,
she realized! wait a minute! they are on the moon! that's why everything is so slow! it's not some earth adjacent world, it's obvious that it's the moon. with moon gravity. duh.
but now I know what you are thinking. "but what about the actual moon they have?"
that is a big ass celestial thing in the sky. that's obviously the earth in this situation. silly.
Heather: "Matt, that super-hero swinging by--! He could almost be Daredevil!"
Matt (thinking): "I doubt that, Heather--since I'm Daredevil. On the other hand, whoever our young stalwart is, he's very good..."
Iron Fist vol. 1 #11 by Chris Claremont, John Byrne, D. Warfield, Dan Adkins, and J. Costanza
*(Flash Iron Fist Fact: The two guys creeping on Heather in the background are Marvel writer/editor Roger Stern and Jim Shooter.)
Here's Heather Glenn/Chris Claremont with some pretty incredible thirty-year foreshadowing...
Today (February 19th, 2024) marks the 50th anniversary of the first appearance of Iron Fist/Danny Rand in Marvel Premiere #15! The above page from almost exactly three years later was, though tiny and brief, technically the first crossover between the Iron Fist and Daredevil series. Danny liked Matt almost immediately when they did eventually meet in-person (Matt took a little more time to warm up to Danny, but that's Matt for you), and they would end up becoming close friends--with Danny, as mentioned, even filling in as Daredevil for a little while during the "Civil War" event and in the Brubaker/Lark DD run.
50 years oh my god 50 years that how long this is amazing
Today marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of Marvel Premiere #15, which hit shelves on February 19th, 1974! (The cover date of May 15 indicated when the book should be taken off the shelves.) This anthology series served as a testing ground where creative teams tried out new characters and storylines to gauge their appeal. One such character was Iron Fist/Danny Rand, who first appeared in #15 and stuck around for ten more issues until proving popular enough, both here and in his guest appearances in the Deadly Hands of Kung Fu magazine, to earn his own solo comic in 1975.
This was a time when martial arts were exploding in popularity across the U.S., and Marvel leapt onboard the trend with new characters like Shang-Chi/Master of Kung Fu, the Sons of the Tiger, White Tiger (Hector Ayala), and Iron Fist. These characters were a departure from Marvel's standard superhero fare; they were martial arts heroes first and foremost, directly inspired by kung fu films and famous contemporary masters like Bruce Lee, Jim Kelly, and Chuck Norris, and with stories heavily focused on beautiful, thrilling, technically precise fight scenes.
Caption: "You whirl: one man, still doubled with pain, receives the blow of the hammer...another, already reeling, you dispose of with the monkey blow. The fourth attacker, more cautious than his fellows, only now makes his forward leap..."
Marvel Premiere #15 by Roy Thomas, Gil Kane, Glynis Wein, D. Giordano, and L.P. Gregory
This sucker-punch of an introductory issue flips breathlessly back and forth between nineteen-year-old Danny Rand's fight to survive the ritual Challenge of the Many and the One, and his flashbacks to the horrors he experienced as a nine-year-old child when, high in the mountains, he watched his parents die. The issue doesn't have room to introduce the dragon Shou-Lao the Undying (that epicness is saved for Marvel Premiere #16), but it introduces the world of Marvel's K'un-Lun and several of its key players, and teases the core premise by culminating in Danny's first time using the power of the Iron Fist. It's an explosive introduction to a character and corner of the Marvel universe that has only grown richer, larger, and more exciting over the past 50 years.
a comic from my little au(also the orphan gang got redesign )🤟
for the summary:Usagi got his memory erased by a spell aunty used to make him forget everything about Jei and what he did to his parents so to make him remember the gang goes to his old village hoping to find somebody to tell them anything about his parents or Jei,and they do!!Mariko and Kenichi(who grew up by his side until he left)recognized him the moment they saw him and were more than happy to help him,(well mostly Mariko)
The first one shows a drawing of Danny Rand in his green Iron Fist suit, including the yellow mask, yellow gloves, yellow belt, and the yellow dragon on his chest. He is turned to the side, both hands up, balled into fists. He is holding one fist in front of him, while he is pulling the other back, ready for a strike. His lower body cut into a triangle shape.
The second one is the drawing of Danny Rand inserted into the color wheel. He is at the bottom right, right next to Jessica Jones, covering the green part of the wheel.
