Valiant announced The Shadow Wars at C2E2 with writer Matt Kindt pitting MI-6’s most elite agents against four new enemies with an all-star lineup of artists on board.
The new story arc begins in NINJAK #6 from Kindt and artists: Raul Allen, Juan Jose Ryp, Stephen Segovia, and Clay Mann.
From the official announcement:
“Join one of the year’s most acclaimed new series here as Ninjak begins his deadliest test yet – a one-on-one showdown with four all-new enemies…each more ruthless that the last…illustrated by a different top talent each month!
Ninjak went to Tokyo to destroy the shadowy Weaponeer arms cartel from the inside out, beginning with its secret council of shinobi masters…the Shadow Seven. Now, the world’s top super-spy is cutting his way through the four death-defying members – The Barbe, Fitzy, Fakir, and Sanguine – that stand between him and the one secret that still eludes him… Who really wields the power behind the world’s most powerful terrorist network? Who is the secret seventh member of the Shadow Seven? And what do they want with Colin King?
“I tried to come up with an interesting cast of characters – villains for the most part – but also characters that share similar training to that Ninjak received… We’ve got a crazy billionaire recluse in a foil suit (and a lot of secrets), a master thief that looks like Errol Flynn, and a blood-sucking punk rocker in a tutu. We’re definitely having fun with this,” writer Matt Kindt told ComicBook.com.
The first chapter of THE SHADOW WARS arrives in NINJAK #6 this August.
Ninjak’s essential second feature, THE LOST FILES, continues in each issue of THE SHADOW WARS. Starting in NINJAK #6, Matt Kindt and Eisner-nominated artist Butch Guice reunite to reveal “how Colin King and Neville Alcott first met – and the deadly secret Neville has kept.”
