This is the Caveman Avengers thing again, yeah? You know I've read every chapter of the Book of the Iron Fist. There's nothing in there about any Stone Age defender of K'un-Lun. But I'll tell ya... there's sure an awful lot about that big, fiery space bird that just came back to Earth. About the Phoenix. And most all of it's bad.

Solicit Synopsis

EXIT THE AGE OF KHONSHU. ENTER THE PHOENIX.

The Avengers have saved Earth from the god of the Moon, but the return of a certain planet-burning cosmic firebird isn’t going to give them much time to catch their breath. Plus: The devil may be dead, but the threat of Mephisto lingers on, with a legacy interwoven in heretofore untold chapters of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
