In stores next Wednesday, “OPERATION: DEADSIDE” reaches a decisive turning point as Ninjak and the mysterious figure formerly called Shadowman finally clash in NINJAK #12! MI-6’s deadly covert operative and his Deadside guide, Punk Mambo, have taken everything this hallucinatory and horrifying parallel dimension has thrown at them and survived to tell the tale…and now they’re going on the offensive! At the hallowed center of the Deadside’s otherworldly power, two Valiant icons are about to go head-to-head…and what happens next will have massive repercussions for the present and future of the Valiant Universe!

MI-6′s doomed rescue mission into a parallel dimension is in dire peril as Ninjak and Punk Mambo find themselves face-to-face with the one and only Shadowman! But what is the true nature of the man once called Jack Boniface…and has his time trapped amidst the Deadside’s horrors stolen his humanity once and for all? A battle to save the soul of the Valiant Universe is about to begin – but even the good guys can’t be sure if they’re on the right side!

The Valiant milestone of 2016 continues here as superstar creators Matt Kindt (DIVINITY) and Doug Braithwaite (ARMOR HUNTERS) bring “OPERATION: DEADSIDE” thundering towards an unmissable climax!

Shan Fong-Mirage thought she had solved the riddle of her ghostly husband… The Mirage’s latest ghostly quarry is a real killer…and this is one spirit that’s as equally dangerous to the dead as it is to the living. Now, with few options left at their disposal, Hwen and Shan are forced to turn to the one enemy they thought they’d left behind forever…

They thought the magic of an ancient scroll, the Secunda Vita, could restore Hwen Mirage’s physical form. But the spells in the scroll are deadly…and after spending decades trapped within its words, the malevolent and corrupted spirit of a long-dead sorcerer has been freed to wreak lethal havoc on Earth! To stop this dark force once and for all, Shan and Hwen Mirage must marshal an alliance of old friends and new enemies, of the living and the dead. If they should fail? The living will die…and the dead will be extinguished in this life and the next!

Valiant’s Harvey Award-nominated sensation unleashes an all-new chapter as acclaimed creators Jen Van Meter (Hopeless Savages) and Roberto de la Torre (Daredevil) throw the Doctors Mirage into their biggest adventure yet!
