The Adventures of Dr. McNinja

A madcap mashup of ninja action, medical drama, and time-traveling absurdity, The Adventures of Dr. McNinja collects the chaotic webcomic run of a ninja doctor who battles everything from evil cowboys to ghost pirates. Published by Dark Horse from 2011 to 2015, this three-issue series is the definitive print edition of creator Chris Hastings' beloved internet sensation, known for its breakneck humor and gleeful disregard for genre boundaries. It matters as a lightning-in-a-bottle example of web-to-print success, preserving the wild energy of a cult favorite that proved the internet could birth comics as weird and wonderful as any newsstand title.
