The most daring Ninjak epic of all time is about to begin as Master Darque goes head to head with Valiant’s most feared super-spy!!

Valiant has announced “The Seven Blades of Master Darque,” beginning in January’s Ninjak #23 – the FIRST ISSUE of a blistering ALL-NEW ARC and ALL-NEW JUMPING-ON POINT for MI-6’s deadliest covert operative! This winter, join writer Matt Kindt and artist Marc Laming for a searing, four-part descent into darkness that will set Ninjak on an irreversible collision course with Master Darque – the secret master of his deadliest foes, the Shadow Seven, and the Valiant Universe’s most dreaded force of evil incarnate!

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…

It’s all led to this!

Featuring covers by Ryan Bodenheim, Ben Oliver, Felipe Massafera, Ryan Lee, Bilquis Evely, and Ben Templesmith, the countdown to the biggest Ninjak tale ever attempted starts here in 2017!
