Honor and Curse: Eternal #1 — Jaime Infante Retailer Incentive Cover Publisher: Mad Cave Studios | Released: March 25, 2026 Writer: Mark London | Artist & Retailer Incentive Cover: Jaime Infante Colorist: Fran Gamboa | Letterer: Carlos M. Mangual | Mad Cave Underworld Universe Retailer Incentive Variant | Near Mint This is the Jaime Infante Retailer Incentive Cover of Honor and Curse: Eternal #1 — available only to retailers ordering qualifying quantities, making this a genuinely scarce edition. Infante's cover is a breathtaking tour de force of draftsmanship — Genshi Sakagura, the immortal shinobi, descending upon a mass of armed soldiers in a sprawling, dynamic battle composition rendered in pure ink line art with delicate blue wash accents. The ghostly blue spirit of the Tengu looms in the background clouds, and the entire composition radiates with extraordinary anatomical precision and kinetic energy — a direct showcase of Infante's unique background as a medical illustrator fused with his gifts as a master comics storyteller. As both the interior artist and the retailer incentive cover artist, Infante's cover is the single most creatively unified and premium collector's edition in the entire Honor and Curse: Eternal #1 lineup. 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. 🔑 KEY ISSUE — YES, SERIES KEY Series premiere of Honor and Curse: Eternal — the long-awaited continuation and relaunch of the original Honor and Curse series, set 600 years after the events of the original and transplanting the immortal shinobi Genshi Sakagura to modern New York City; described as "atmospheric," "disciplined," and "a sustainable flagship series" by critics Part of the Mad Cave Underworld interconnected universe — one of the flagship titles in Mad Cave Studios' ambitious interconnected storytelling initiative alongside Revolution 9, Hour of the Wolf, Exit City, and the crossover event Endless Night; the most structurally ambitious world-building project in Mad Cave's history Jaime Infante Retailer Incentive Cover — Infante is one of the most technically accomplished comics artists to emerge from Spain in recent years, winner of the Best Comic Award at the Barcelona International Comic Fair 2025 for his graphic novel Dum Dum; his unique background as a medical illustrator for ten years gives his work an extraordinary anatomical precision and visceral body horror quality ideally suited for a series about a war spirit literally possessing a ninja's body; his retailer incentive cover is the most premium and artistically distinguished edition in the lineup Written by Mark London — CEO and CCO of Mad Cave Studios, the creative architect of the entire Underworld universe; London's deep personal investment in this character and world gives the series an emotional authenticity that sets it apart from typical licensed or work-for-hire ninja narratives Ships bagged, boarded, and protected in a Gemini mailer.
