The "Heroes For Hire" return for their new series in 2016. Here's what David Walker had to say about getting the opportunity to write this iconic duo, and Axel Alonso offering him the opportunity to choose which Marvel characters he wanted to work with. "

"About a year ago or so, [Marvel Editor-In-Chief] Axel Alonso asked me to list all the characters that I wanted to work with the most," said Walker. "He said, ‘Don’t be limited—go as big as you want.’ At the very top of that list were Luke Cage and Danny Rand, and I put in parentheses after their names: ‘as a team.’ Because this was something that I’d wanted to see for years and years. That particular duo, they’re so iconic. As a writer, you love interesting characters, and those two characters are so fun to delve into. They are the ultimate bromantic couple."

Cool, the art is very interesting.

I quite like the look of the art. It's different, but not in a shitty Mike Allred kinda way.

That looks horrible.

And I wouldn't mind if Danny wore that suit in the Netflix series at some point.

Interesting art style. Glad these two are getting a series again.

I'll definitely pick it up but I'm really not feeling the art. That is such a terrible design for Iron Fist.

Now please announce a new ongoing for the Punisher.

A lot of new titles from Marvel are promising!
Also I kinda hoped to have the cast of Iron Fist a while back cause Luke Cage is shooting right now so it could have been so good to see them together, even just a bit!

Uhhh... what's up with that art? It's unique I'll give it that... I really hope the Iron Fist netflix series is inspired by Fraction and Brubaker's Iron Fist run

The outside of Fist's collar should be black. That would be dope.

For some reason I just love that cover! Luke Cage and Iron Fist ready to bring the pain!! I'll definitely check it out.

@InfiniteMonkey

Define "proper artist"?

While it doesn't always work I appreciate Marvel constant willingness to try out artist with an alternative art style. In this case I think it works. In one of the recent Thunderbolts series it worked terribly and the art was garbage.

They can't even get close to this level - what a pity.

When I saw Luke Cage, this was the first thing that came to mind:

It seems like I'm not the only one who notices the resemblance, lol.

What's wrong w/ the art? Iron Fist has been blessed w/ so many great artists and writers in recent years.

May not look like the old series, but this guy still has that type of art style that can look good.

Why does Danny look like a hick?

First off, I have nothing against Sanford Greene's art…. he's proven himself a pro. These images tho' aren't the BEST LOOKS for the characters, especially Iron Fist. He's looked better in the past.

Jesus Christ, that artwork is [frick]ing atrocious.
