Then we come to the end, and the fourth title change for this struggling book.  In order to introduce it with a bang, Marvel brings in the powerhouse team of Chris Claremont and John Byrne, and brings along iron Fist and his terrific supporting cast to join up with Cage and, by #50, share title billing.

Colleen Wing also gets some good screen time.

Then Iron Man finally meets Luke Cage. When the two bromancers first meet, they fight–of course.

Next: Another title change, and one of the most beloved books of the ’80s.
