Iron Fist hits Netflix tonight, and ... well, you’ve probably already read our review.
But who is Iron Fist, the Marvel superhero — when he’s not on your television screen, that is? That’s what the newest episode of Issue at Hand, Polygon’s series about the strange world of comics, is all about.
Danny Rand is an orphaned billionaire, a mystical martial arts master and Luke Cage’s best friend, and you can hear all about that in the video above. But there’s no denying that Netflix’s Iron Fist has Alex Abad-Santos, culture writer for our sister site Vox, to help break down some of the knotty ideas about improving racial representation in film and television that Iron Fist is embroiled in. After the episode, be sure to check out Alex’s full article about the show, which we discuss with him throughout.
New episodes of Issue at Hand hit Polygon’s YouTube channel every other Thursday.
