Ninjak Promo Ad by David Nakayama

In case you didn't notice the advertisement on the back of your Shadowman #1, Ninjak fans now have a reason to rejoice! Colin King, our favorite disavowed MI-6 agent, is returning in July. Here's the press release from the good folks at Valiant Entertainment.

NINJAK #1: READ THE FIRST PREVIEW FROM
JEFF PARKER AND JAVIER PULIDO

Valiant Entertainment's top superspy is stepping out of the shadows...

From Ringo Award-winning writer JEFF PARKER (Batman ’66, James Bond Origin, Thunderbolts) and visionary artist JAVIER PULIDO (The Amazing Spider-Man, Robin: Year One, She-Hulk), NINJAK #1 follows Colin King, aka NINJAK, as the secret operative is on the run after the identity of every MI6 agent is exposed. Now, Colin must embark on a global adventure to evade the deadly people who have him in their sights...

"Colin King now finds himself in a world without secrets, everything about his former employer MI6 becomes public knowledge, and there's no safe place on Earth," teases Jeff. "He's relying less on tech and more on wits and skill."

The acclaimed writer says Javier Pulido surpassed his expectations with every page. "Javier is a blast to work with because you can try to imagine where he's going to go with the script, but you're wrong and he's going to come up with something even more inventive." Jeff added, "He's giving the series a visual identity that will stand out and you won't forget it. One clever storytelling approach after another, he's brilliant."

"Senior Editor LYSA HAWKINS and Valiant have been encouraging, letting us go on our trippy action-packed journey so this doesn't feel like many other books on the stands," states the writer. "It's going to click with people who aren't expecting it."

Here's a look at seven preview pages from Ninjak #1. Enjoy!
