Zen Intergalactic Ninja

A one-issue return for the martial-arts mystic from the stars, this 2008 special from Devil's Due Publishing revives the Zen Intergalactic Ninja—a character originally created in the 1980s as a tie-in to a trading card game. The issue pits the peaceful, chi-wielding hero against a new threat to the cosmos, blending action and Eastern philosophy in the series' signature style. While short-lived, this entry marks a notable attempt to reintroduce a cult-favorite property to a modern audience.
