scans_dailyComicBookResources.com has the latest tale of the current incarnation of the Defenders squad, with some horrible news opening up the issue.
* MAJOR SPOILERS HEAD *
The Immortal Weapons are dead.
Rest in peace, guys. you were introduced and kicked SO MUCH ASS! and were awesome to behold.
Yeah, it gets worse from there for Danny Rand.
Maybe the Phoenix is not a bad thing for him.

Date: 2012-04-28 05:06 pm (UTC)Unless this has a decent outcome, what a steaming waste of characters, it's like killing the Hellions to make Trevor "Who?" Fitzroy look dangerous all over again.

Date: 2012-04-30 02:57 pm (UTC)EVIL MASTERMIND: I've brought twenty of the Asian underworld's finest martial artists to fight you for my entertainment!
IRON FIST: Have you met my friends, Red She-Hulk and Silver Surfer?
Bonus points if it turns out to be a not-dead-after-all Master Khan and he ends up being confronted by Dr. Strange and Namor (who decapitated him in his last appearance).

Date: 2012-04-30 07:19 pm (UTC)Fraction will reveal that the chi which empowers the Immortal Weapon of Kun Zi (the Crane Mother's city) is actually the Phoenix Force. Davos, once again the Steel Phoenix is the actual killer, and is slaying the other Weapons on the orders of the Crane Mother, who becomes more powerful the closer the Phoenix is to Earth.
In the end, Davos will lose the Steel Phoenix powers again, and will return to being a villain. Why? Because nobody is allowed to be redeemed in Marvel Comics.
