Is that series what the show will be based off of? I don't know if I've heard anyone confirm that, but the comic introduces things that are/have been in the shows.

In Daredevil S2E12, the Hand calls Elektra their "greatest living weapon." As Iron Fist is often called "the living weapon" their seems to be a connection there, and Immortal Iron Fist deals with a group called the "immortal weapons."

Also, Immortal Iron Fist deals with the Hand, and we know they're going to be in the show. Also heavily deals with Danny's origin which is obviously part of the show as well. A lot of people think Madame Gao is Crane Mother, and she's in the book, as is Colleen Wing. Steel Serpent is in the book as well and his symbol was seen on packages of Heroin in season one of Daredevil.

So I think it's definitely a good comic to read to prepare for the show. The Bride of the Nine Spiders, one of the Seven Immortal Weapons, will also appear in the series.
