From Valiant:

As first announced at the 2018 Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2), NINJAK VS. THE VALIANT UNIVERSE will begin streaming on Comicbook.com on April 21st, starting with the first of six episodes! Each subsequent episode will debut one per day thereafter, culminating in the finale on April 26th. The bone-shattering series will pit MI6’s master assassin, Ninjak, against a gauntlet of Valiant’s most formidable heroes for a bloodstained battle royale torn from the pages of the largest independent superhero universe in comics!

Directed by Aaron & Sean Schoenke of Bat in the Sun Productions – the creators of the massively popular YouTube sensation Super Power Beat Down – and written by Aaron Schoenke, Sean Schoenke, Joe Harris, and Andrew Rowe, NINJAK VS. THE VALIANT UNIVERSE stars Michael Rowe (The CW’s Arrow and The Flash) as Colin King, aka Ninjak; Jason David Frank (Power Rangers) as Bloodshot; John Morrison (WWE, El Rey’s Lucha Underground) as the Eternal Warrior; Chantelle Barry (90210, Entourage) as Roku; Kevin Porter(Dodgeball) as Armstrong; Ciera Foster (Two and a Half Men) as Livewire, and Derek Theler (ABC’s Baby Daddy) as X-O Manowar.

Colin King is Ninjak, MI6’s deadliest intelligence operative and weapons expert. When the ruthless assassin Roku exploits his greatest weakness, Ninjak will be forced to betray his closest allies. Now, on the run, he must face off against the most powerful heroes known to man for a high-octane, take-no-prisoners trial by fire more perilous and more unpredictable than any he’s faced before. On April 21st, the world’s most dangerous super-spy goes to war with the Valiant Universe…

I am so glad that we finally have date for this! Been eagerly awaiting this since they released the trailer a while back. Valiant had already released most of the tie-in mini series by now, and it seems like a real faithful adaptation of the Valiant Universe. Pretty much all your favorite characters are here, and it tells a great story. Friday can't get here quick enough!

In case you haven't seen it, here is the trailer again!
