NYCC: Ninjak Vs. The Valiant Universe Trailer
Whether you know the name or not, Valiant Entertainment is one of the biggest comic companies out there. They have their own massive universe, and much like DC Comics and Marvel before them, are wanting to bring them out of comics and into live action. At New York Comic Con, they unveiled the first step in doing so. A six part miniseries featuring their vast lineup of heroes and villains. Called Ninjak Vs. The Valiant Universe, it stars one of their biggest characters going up against many characters from their roster. The project is a combination work of Valiant Digital and Bat In The Sun.
“With major projects in film, television, and gaming already well underway, Valiant Digital is the next strategic evolution of Valiant’s long-term plan to expand the ranks of its already sizable fanbase around the world,” said Valiant Chief Operating Officer Gavin Cuneo in a statement. “In years past, it wasn’t uncommon for comic book publishers to prime new fans by expanding into Saturday morning animation or short-form programming. Today, that demographic has largely migrated online. With the launch of Valiant Digital and, soon, Ninjak vs. The Valiant Universe, Valiant will become the first major comic book publisher to create original, short-form content for the digital arena – and, with it, introduce our characters to one of the most engaged and passionate communities anywhere.”
