THE NEXT TWO EXCITING CHAPTERS OF A BRAND NEW, DIGITAL-FIRST, IN-CONTINUITY SERIES! Iron Fist has been fighting a darkness that's crept through the city of New York, but at least he's got back-up—thanks to an assist from none other than LUKE CAGE! But this Heroes for Hire reunion is cut short when the darkness that's been clawing its way through the city finds its way into both Danny and Luke…leaving Danny no choice but to SEPARATE HIMSELF FROM HIS IRON FIST! Weakened, and with precious little of his chi left, it's up to Danny to fight with one hand tied behind his back (technically severed off) and save himself, his best friend, and his city!
