After Valiant Comics was purchased by video game company Acclaim Entertainment in 1996, many of its characters were rebooted in new comics. The relaunched series, Ninjak volume 2, was created by writer Kurt Busiek and artists Neil Vokes and Michael Avon Oeming. In the Acclaim comic book universe, a teenager named Denny Meechum is endowed with the combined abilities of several ninja warriors by unlocking a puzzle in a video game. The second series lasted 12 issues, running from March 1997 to February 1998.
