Spy vs. super-spy!
At last, Ninjak is about to find himself face-to-face with the surgically precise killer that has been eliminating the operatives of MI-6’s most elite intelligence service – the deep-black training unit known as the “Ninja Programme” – one by one. But this shocking truth will also bring a devastating realization about Colin King’s own past screaming into the modern day… With a gun at his back and a sword at his side, Britain’s most elite super-spy is about to have his faith in queen and country tested like never before…
The mystery of “THE NINJA FILES” continues as renowned writer Christos Gage (Netflix’s Daredevil) and superstar artist Tomás Giorello (X-O MANOWAR) lead MI-6’s deadliest secret agent ever deeper into an shadow-laden game of cat and mouse…

Why are you using the past tense? It wasn't just for me, the Acclimation Bureau ensures that assets remain assets. All types of assets.
- -- Ninja-C
MI-6 had it waiting. A way to bring you to heel, if the notorious "free agent" ever got to be too free. They have files like that for all of us, K. A detailed plan to destroy us utterly. And others, equally detailed, to keep us... pliable.
- -- Ninja-C
It wouldn't change anything, but I'm sure you won't. Because in your heart, you already know what I've told you is true. Beneath the shock you feel, there's an ember. A flicker of anger. Trust me, as one who's been there... it only grows. -- We'll talk again when it's a fire!
