NINJA BASEBALL BAT MAN and crew are back to save baseball in an all-new comic series: “NINJA BASEBALL SPIRITS!”
Writer Dave Cook and Artist Steve Gregson to collaborate on Ninja Baseball Spirits comic book!
They’re back! The heroes from Irem’s 1993 cult arcade beat ’em up smash, Ninja Baseball Bat Man, are returning in an all-new comic book series., which will launch on Kickstarter in 2022.
The game’s original concept and characters were created by former Irem designer Drew Maniscalco, who has now teamed up with writer Dave Cook and artist Steve Gregson (collectively known as Team Beats) to create a comic that reboots the classic arcade brawler.
The comic series is titled, ‘Ninja Baseball Spirits’ and joins the game’s four playable characters and their new friends as they tour across America to reclaim six golden relics that keep the spirit of baseball alive. More details will be announced by Team Beats on social media and the Ninja Baseball Bat Man fan site soon.
The news comes as the 1993 arcade original approaches its 30th anniversary in 2023, after building up a dedicated and growing fan base that includes popular YouTubers, retro enthusiasts and beat ’em up communities around the world.
