Fifty years of Comic-Con, and I was there to discover what new treats lay for the attendees of this vast convention devoted to comic books. Comic Con ran from July 18-21, with preview night on July 17. Announcements, screenings, and trailers for returning and upcoming new TV shows and movies were present daily. There was so much to see and so little time to see them!

Netflix’s final Defender, Iron Fist, made his debut at New York Comic-Con 2016 as the show’s first teaser trailer was screened.
There are few glimpses of K’un-Lun – the Shangri-la-like hidden Asian community where Danny Rand (Finn Jones) was the only white person to learn their martial arts and achieve the ultimate skill – the Iron Fist. We do see, briefly, Lei Kung, his teacher.
