Fan-favorite series Honor and Curse returns next year from Mad Cave Studios in Honor and Curse: Eternal. Issue #1 of 12 hits shelves in March, and The Beat has all the details.
Created and written by Mark London, illustrated by Jaime Infante, colored by Fran Gambera, and lettered by Carlos M. Mangual, Honor and Curse: Eternal features a retailer incentive cover by Infante and additional covers by Nick Marinkovich and Filya Bratukhin. Here’s the synopsis:
Six hundred years ago, ninja warrior Genshi Sakagura vanished from history—cursed with immortality and haunted by a war-hungry spirit known as the Tengu. Now living in modern-day New York, Genshi’s centuries of silence shatter when a terrorist strike and a kidnapping tied to his ancient past force him back into battle. To reclaim his honor, he must once again unleash the curse he’s spent lifetimes trying to contain.
“I’ve been haunted by Genshi’s story since I first imagined him—this guy who spent six centuries running from his own power, only to get dragged back into the light,” said London. “What gets me is how human his struggle is: carrying the weight of an ancient oath, fighting a war spirit inside him, and wrestling with whether redemption is even possible after 600 years.
“Bringing Honor and Curse back means we finally get to tell what happens when the silence breaks, when the running stops, and when an immortal ninja’s past slams into 2026,” he continued. “This series is a cinematic journey where Genshi’s fight, this deeply personal battle with his oath and the spirit inside him, plays out across time. We’re honoring what made the original work while pushing the mythology somewhere it’s never been. Because at the end of the day, the most dangerous thing Genshi ever did wasn’t fighting, it was refusing to fight at all. Honor and Curse: Eternal is that reckoning.”
Infante added, “I love working with Mad Cave. Mark London’s Underworld is diverse and rich, full of action… At Mad Cave, I’ve felt right at home, have had a great deal of creative freedom, and always feel that my creative decisions, however crazy they might seem, are the right path.”
Honor and Curse: Eternal #1 will be available digitally and at your local comic shop on March 25, 2026.
