Valiant Comics have announced a new volume of “Ninjak” starting in 2021, written by Jeff Parker (“James Bond: Origin”) with art by Javier Pulido (“The Amazing Spider-Man”). The first storyline, ‘Daylight,’ will reveal what happens to former MI6 spy Colin King, aka Ninjak, when all his secrets are exposed to the world. “The entire criminal underworld has Ninjak in their sights… How will the undercover operative survive when there’s nowhere left to hide?”

In an article at Heroic Hollywood, Parker stated, “I don’t want to give too much away about the storyline of ‘Daylight’ just yet. But it’s rude to not at least hint so: Colin King is going to see the mighty institution he’s served most of his career, MI6, turned inside out and left vulnerable to all its enemies, and the same happens to him. It’s extremely hard to be a ninja or spy when all your secrets are exposed. Over the year Ninjak is going to experience a serious paradigm shift.”

Pulido said, “Ninjak may look like simple, straightforward stuff at first glance. In fact, it’s designed to grab the reader by the throat as soon as the first page is open. A bit like Ninjak himself, it’s about making things look easy.” Parker, who previously worked with Pulido at Marvel, said he “comes up with the most brilliant panel progressions and layouts, and very striking compositions that look so simple but you have to be a next-level talent to attempt a lot of what he does. This has made the process lots of fun for me, it’s a constant challenge to give Javier the details he needs to work with yet somehow stay out of his way so he can cut loose with his imagination. I feel like we click really well and I think readers are going to enjoy the experience.”
