Fresh off the sold-out success of Unity #1's best-selling
debut, Valiant's elite super-team is raising the stakes ever further with an
all-new mission in March!
As revealed today at USA Today, Unity #5 will introduce
the Valiant Universe's next A-level adversary in "Trapped by Webnet"
– a new, three-part story arc launching Ninjak's most notorious arch-nemesis,
Dr. Silk, and his high-tech terror network, WEBNET, into the all-new Valiant
Universe! Written by New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (Justice
League of America, Mind MGMT) with pencils by Valiant's newest exclusive
artist, CAFU (Earth 2, Action Comics), start reading here when Ninjak steps
front and center for an all-new entry point into Valiant's landmark,
chart-topping ongoing series.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite
reaction. First came UNITY… Now meet WEBNET! Coming off of the earth-shattering
repercussions of their first mission, Ninjak is leading the newly formed Unity
team right back into the trenches to face the Valiant Universe's next colossal
threat – the enigmatic Dr. Silk and the radical terror cell known as WEBNET!
With the fate of untold millions on the line, can this team of cutthroat heroes
uncover Silk's endgame – and his connection to Ninjak's shadowy past – before a
global pandemic wipes humanity off the map? From the English countryside to the
jungles of Taiwan, MI-6's most lethal intelligence operative and his ruthless
team of egotists, immortals and malcontents are taking their fight global to
stop WEBNET in its path.
"I've put a lot of thought into [Dr. Silk] and one
of the things that makes him interesting is that he's crazy SMART...not just
crazy. So I'm really focusing on that, and hand in hand with that is his
age," Kindt told USA Today. "He's kind of a withered old guy which
implies a lot of history. So part of his intrigue is going to be what he's done
in the past and how it's going to effect our present."
Unity #5 will be 100% returnable for qualifying retailers
and include four limited Pullbox Exclusive Variants (available to fans who
pre-order with their local retailer) from an all-star roster of comics talents
- Mico Suayan (Ultimate Cataclysm), Philip Tan (Green Lantern), Raul Allen
(Secret Avengers), and Diego Bernard (Eternal Warrior)!
Series writer and acclaimed artist Matt Kindt will also
contribute an incentive cover for issue #5.
This March, the smash-hit new series of the year begins a
daring new act in Unity #5 – an all-new introduction to the most feared team in
comics!
