"Marvel Comics has announced a new tie-in to Spider-Island featuring the martial arts superheroes Iron Fist and Shang-Chi. Wasteland writer Anthony Johnson will team up with regular collaborator Sebastian Fiumara for the three-issue miniseries, called Spider-Island: Deadly Hands of Kung Fu. The series will take place during the much-hyped  Spider-Island event, which sees the residents of Manhattan all gain Spider-Man&amp;#039;s powers. &amp;quot;In the midst of battle, what call could be so urgent that it takes the Immortal Iron Fist and the Master of Kung Fu away from the side of The Avengers?&amp;quot; Marvel&amp;#039;s press release reads. The series will also feature regular Iron Fist allies the Immortal Weapons. However, it has been hinted that one of the team&amp;#039;s members may now have turned against her former comrades. &amp;quot;Beware, The Bride of Nine Spiders now stalks the streets - but is she the cause of the key to a horrific plot that threatens to sink all of Spider-Island?&amp;quot; Marvel teases. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve been a fan of Shang-Chi for years, so writing Spider-Island: Deadly Hands of Kung Fu is great fun, especially as Shang himself gets spider-powers,&amp;quot; Johnston said of the miniseries. &amp;quot;Then just throw in a little mystery, some gothic horror, a guest appearance by Iron Fist and more kung fu per page than any other Spider-Island book guaranteed!&amp;quot; Spider-Island: Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #1 will launch in August.
