Storm Shadow #6

Storm Shadow #6 (2007) delivers a tense, character-driven chapter as the legendary ninja is summoned to Spain by his dying friend Anibal, who demands to be killed—a request Storm Shadow refuses. When Anibal betrays him to his enemies in a desperate bid to force compliance, Storm Shadow must evade a deadly mix of Russian agents, Night Creepers, and Red Ninjas, using his wits and skill to stay one step ahead. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Mark A. Robinson, with colors by Renato Faccini and letters by Brian J. Crowley, the issue culminates in Storm Shadow’s bold decision to bring Anibal to Japan to settle the matter on his own terms. The cover, by Kalman Andrasofszky, captures the moment’s gravity with striking precision.
