Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z Digital Comic Prequel Part Two Now Available
The second issue of the Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z digital comic is now available.
You can check out the first issue of the comic by heading here. The comic premiered alongside the recent announcement that the game would be receiving a two-week delay. The game is now arriving on March 18 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. To check out both issues of the comic, head here.
The three-issue comic fills in the game’s backstory. It’s written by Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash) and Josh Emmons, with art by Rafael Ortiz (Dan the Unharmable) and color by Carols Badilla (Hack/Slash).

Our Take
Comic books are a popular accessory for video games, often used to set up back stories and begin the character development process before release. I am curious how popular they are, though. Do you read the comics that release before and alongside video games?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
