https://www.comixology.com/Immortal-Iron-Fist-2006-2009-1/digital-comic/1605

The Last Iron Fist Story - Part 1

Many years ago, in the mystical city of Kun Lun, young Danny Rand stared at a suit behind glass -- the garb of the Immortal Iron Fist- -- and knew that he was destined to wear it. But where did this costume come from? Why did it wait for Danny all those years like a shadow of his future?

The answer to those questions will stun both him and his readers, as Danny Rand leaps from the pages of his breakout hit in DAREDEVIL to his own series - a history-spanning kung-fu epic that will shatter every perception of what it means to be the Immortal Iron Fist! Brought to you by top-ten writer Ed Brubaker and breakout talent Matt Fraction (Punisher War Journal), with action-packed art by David Aja (Daredevil, Giant-Size Wolverine).
