Awesome animated prequel for RZA's 'The Man with the Iron Fists'

RZA has been doing some really cool stuff to get us hyped for The Man with the Iron Fists, as if the trailers and the concept weren't enough. Rather than going the usual route with the same ol' one-sheets produced by some studio marketing department, he gathered together a number of great artists to come up with more than a dozen different ones in various styles. Very cool stuff. Now he's bringing some of the same artistic flourishes in those posters and bringing it to an awesome animated prequel titled The Encounter.

Taking some of that same style he brought to Afro Samurai, RZA narrates the story of how his character The Blacksmith makes his way to Jungle City, where the bulk of the action takes place. The Man with the Iron Fists opens on November 2nd....
