Ninjak is back! Valiant Entertainment reveals Ninjak will take on Aric in X-O Manowar #5 this September. This will be the first chapter of a new arc by Robert Venditti and Lee Garbett.
From the publisher:
“X-O Manowar has landed on Earth – and now the world’s most lethal intelligence agent has a new target. But who is the operative known as Ninjak? And who – or what – has marked Aric of Dacia for death by his blade? Find out when the all-new, all-ruthless Ninjak makes his shocking debut – and cuts his way to the forefront of the Valiant Universe!”
Mark Moretti and Joe Quesada created Ninjak in the Bloodshot series but the character became so popular he got his own series. Colin King is the rich son of a British agent raised in the Far East where he was an outcast. After his father’s murder King became a martial arts master to bring his father’s killer to justice and later a master spy.
X-O Manowar is a popular choice and book of the month with my Comic Book Reading group!

Preview posters for the X-O Manowar #1 QR Voice Variant are coming to comic book shops this Wednesday.
“We want fans worldwide to know that something special is happening in their local comic shop during the build-up to May 2nd and the launch of the new Valiant Universe,” said Valiant Chief Creative Officer Dinesh Shamdasani. “Valiant’s QR Voice Variant is not only a new innovation in comics and a true incentive for retailers, but an enhanced and immersive experience for fans as well.

“From the beginning, it has been Valiant’s mission to get readers into their local comic shop and talking about what makes this such an exciting medium,” said Valiant CEO Jason Kothari. “A trailblazing effort like the QR Voice poster and accompanying limited edition cover to X-O Manowar #1 not only accomplishes that, but also brings a first-of-its-kind interactive experience to print.”
