Since its launch back in 2014, Ninjak has consistently been one of the best written (if overlooked) superhero titles available. Beginning in January, the latest arc sees Ninjak face a battle which serves both as a spiritual sequel to the acclaimed Book of Death as well as a culmination for the series as a whole. Comics Bulletin is proud to present this exclusive preview of the upcoming Ninjak #23 by writer Matt Kindt and artist Marc Laming.

ALL-NEW ARC! ALL-NEW JUMPING-ON POINT! “THE SEVEN BLADES OF MASTER DARQUE” begins here!

Master Darque – the sadistic lord of death and resurrection – wrests to be free once again, but first he must fight for his life. Darque is a target, his powers are weak, and his enemies know it. Now, Darque’s own former pupil and Ninjak’s ruthless arch-nemesis – the lethal assassin known as Roku – has gathered the Shadow Seven together again for the sole purpose of putting Darque down for good. And the only thing holding their uneasy alliance together is a mysterious benefactor from the shadows… Someone who also goes by the name Darque…

Everything has led to this… Out of the ashes of BOOK OF DEATH, Ninjak and Master Darque will collide in a punishing circle of death, destruction and hellfire! Join New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (DIVINITY III: STALINVERSE) and blistering artist Marc Laming (Planet Hulk) here for a steelhardened jumping-on point that will leave Valiant’s seven-time Harvey Award nominated series forever scarred!
