The Untold Story Of Ninja-G

Valiant presents this first look inside NINJA-K #4 – a spectacular standalone jumping-on point for the EXPLOSIVE NEW ONGOING SERIES from renowned writer Christos Gage (Netflix’s Daredevil) and incendiary special guest Juan José Ryp (BRITANNIA)! On February 14th, discover the untold story of NINJA-G – the first female operative of MI-6’s most deeply classified intelligence unit – and its perilous ramifications for the modern-day Valiant Universe!

At the height of 1970s Britain, MI-6’s covert “Ninja Programme” has just activated its first female agent: NINJA-G! As financial instability grips the nation and anarchy brews in the streets, can MI-6’s newest ninja recruit counter a steady tide of double agents, double crosses, and dueling nation states that will take her from the leather-padded corridors of London to the most severe corners of the Soviet Bloc? The life expectancy of a ninja agent is never long…but just how and why are NINJA-G’s missions still impacting Ninjak’s deadly manhunt in the modern day? And could her legacy hold the secret to decoding the murders of the Ninja Programme’s last surviving members – before Colin King is scratched off the list once and for all?

On February 14th, learn the hidden history of Valiant’s cold warriors as acclaimed writer Christos Gage and guest artist Juan José Ryp debrief with an essential and self-contained jumping-on point for the winter’s must-read super-spy thriller, only in NINJA-K #4 – featuring covers by CAFU (RAPTURE), Adam Pollina (X-Force), Roberto de la Torre (THE DEATH-DEFYING DOCTOR MIRAGE), and Juan José Ryp (BRITANNIA)!

Plus: Continuing in NINJA-K #4, veteran artist Ariel Olivetti (Punisher War Journal) joins NINJA-K mastermind Christos Gage for the next installment of an essential back-up feature revealing the top-secret origin of NINJA-A, the operative that birthed the “Ninja Programme” amidst the raging fires of the First World War’s Western Front!

But first check out how Colin King accepts a new mission from high-octane storytellers Christos Gage and Tomás Giorello (X-O MANOWAR) for Valiant’s latest blockbuster ongoing series in NINJA-K #1!

For nearly a century, MI-6, the most elite branch of Britain’s clandestine intelligence service, has honed a ruthlessly effective, top-secret division – THE NINJA PROGRAMME – into one of its nation’s most finely wielded weapons. Tasked as the first and last line of defense for queen and country, this small shadow army of agents and assassins has produced a succession of notable assets, including NINJA-A, the Queen’s silent weapon of World War I; NINJA-E, the globe-trotting secret agent that pulled the Cold War back from the brink of Armageddon; and, most recently, NINJA-K, aka Colin King, a brash but fearless instrument of lethality that has saved the world from madmen and terror at every turn. But now…an unknown enemy is hunting and killing members of THE NINJA PROGRAMME one by one – and NINJAK is next on the list.

On November 15th, Ninjak inherits MI-6’s dark legacy…only to find himself drawn into a manhunt through a cold, calculating world of espionage and international intrigue in NINJA-K #1 – featuring covers by Trevor Hairsine (DIVINITY), rising star Lucas Troya, Tonci Zonjic (Who is Jake Ellis?), Kenneth Rocafort (The Ultimates), and David Mack (Kabuki)!
