Valiant Masters Recruits Joe Quesada and Mark Moretti

Sitting comfortably in the midst of a renaissance, Valiant Entertainment is always looking for ways to continue having an impact on comics at large. Whether it's putting out great books or teaming up with the US Luge team, the publisher is quickly rising in the ranks of small press. It's time the publisher started digging real, real deep into their storied history.

This February, the definitive origin of Ninjak will be headed back to print for the first time in Valiant Masters: Ninjak Vol. 1 - Black Water. The deluxe hardcover will collect the characters solo debut and feature covers by Joe Quesada and Mark Moretti.

Colin King is a sophisticated British playboy by day, elite super-spy by night. Codenamed Ninjak, King is gifted with a brilliant mind and lethal training in the world's most dangerous fighting techniques. Both will be put to the ultimate test as he is drawn into a globe-spanning mission to apprehend Dr. Silk, mastermind of the WEBNET terror network, before the mysterious weapon known as "Black Water" goes online.

Collecting Ninjak (1994) #1-6, #0 and #00 with the original series coloring, the latest Valiant Masters hardcover volume re-presents Quesada's covers and interiors from Ninjak's debut outing and origin, along with rarely-seen sketches and process art direct from the Valiant vaults. Featuring guest appearances from X-O Manowar and Bloodshot, Valiant Masters: Ninjak Vol. 1 - Black Water is an essential piece of Valiant history.

The hardcover goes on sale February 27. Full press release and interiors below.
