Solicitation[]

A NEW CAN’T-MISS ONGOING SERIES! From acclaimed writer Christos Gage (Netflix’s Daredevil) and superstar artist Tomás Giorello (X-O MANOWAR), the United Kingdom’s most dreaded intelligence operative delves into the cold, calculating world of espionage and international intrigue!

For nearly a century, MI-6, the most elite branch of Britain’s clandestine intelligence service, has honed a ruthlessly effective, top-secret division – THE NINJA PROGRAMME – into one of its nation’s most finely wielded weapons. Tasked as the first and last line of defense for queen and country, this small shadow army of agents and assassins has produced a succession of notable assets, including NINJA-A, the Queen’s silent weapon of World War I; NINJA-E, the globe-trotting secret agent that pulled the Cold War back from the brink of Armageddon; and, most recently, NINJA-K, aka Colin King, a brash but fearless instrument of lethality that has saved the world from madmen and terror at every turn. But now… an unknown enemy is hunting and killing members of THE NINJA PROGRAMME one by one – and NINJAK is next on the list.

Hello. I believe I'm lost. Can you direct me to the statue of Bruce Lee? Huge fan.
-- Ninja-K
D Lesson #17: Stealth is fine and good. But there are times you want to be seen. And times you don't.
-- Ninja-K about Ninja-D
D Lesson #8: Close quarters are an advantage against multiple opponents. The environment is rich with targets. They have less opportunity to react... and less room to maneuver. Until you've killed most of them, of course.
-- Ninja-K about Ninja-D
D Lesson #3: You don't get paid by the fight.
-- Ninja-K about Ninja-D
D Lesson #7: Traditional weapons can always be improved.
-- Ninja-K about Ninja-D
D Lesson #1: Know when it's time to get the hell out.
-- Ninja-K about Ninja-D
D Lesson #22: Have a flexible escape plan.
-- Ninja-K about Ninja-D
Okay. So you're not big on hints. I'll just ask outright. We've been sleeping together a few weeks now. We served together in Unity. I'd kinda like to know something about you besides your preferred brand of body armor.
-- Amanda McKee
Oh, I see. I didn't realize you saw it as that sort of relationship.
-- Colin King
Oh, please. Don't look at me like I just asked for a ring and a white picket fence. I'm not even asking for exclusivity. But I care about you, Colin. I think you care about me. People who care about each other share things.
-- Amanda McKee
I thought you, of all people, would understand. Our lives are hardly ordinary.
-- Colin King
