He’s held it back for 600 years. Now, the cage is breaking.
Mad Cave Studios is proud to announce HONOR AND CURSE: ETERNAL, the long-awaited continuation of the hit series that first introduced readers to Genshi Sakagura—forced into a destiny he never asked for, and now, six hundred years later, the silence breaks…
Created and written by Mark London (Underworld), with art and retailer incentive cover by Spanish comic book artist Jaime Infante (Legends of the DC Universe), colors by Fran Gambera (Terrorbytes), and letters by Carlos M. Mangual, this new chapter expands the series’ mythology into bold new territory. Featuring additional covers by Nick Marinkovich (The Lavender Lady) and Filya Bratukhin (Swat Kats), the story collides ancient feudal oaths with a modern world nowhere near ready for the shadows rising to claim it.
HONOR AND CURSE: ETERNAL
Writer: Mark London – Artist: Jaime Infante – Colorist: Fran Gamboa – Letterer: Carlos M. Mangual
Release Date: March 25th, 2026
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. 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 to the forefront of Underworld 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. 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—
Additionally, Underworld has always been envisioned as a long-form saga, one that brings together characters, themes, and storylines across genres. With Part 1 complete and collected for readers, Part 2 allows us to open the world in ways we’ve been dreaming about for years. Honor and Curse: Eternal is where that expansion begins.”
-Mark London, Writer
“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.”
-Jaime Infante, Illustrator
