About this ebook

Leonard Miller is a frustrated artist. His publisher and his agent are out to capitalize on the blooming success of "Robot Ninja," the greatest costumed superhero since Batman! One night, Miller witnesses a brutal murder of a young couple at the hands of ruthless thugs. He cries out for revenge!

With the help of an inventor friend, Dr. Goodknight, Miller becomes the Robot Ninja, stalking the dark streets of Ridgway, intent on spilling some blood! The only thing stopping him is a remorseful Goodknight, and a frustrated local cop that's always just one step behind him.

Robot Ninja slashes, stabs, guts, pokes and jabs his way through body after body until his final confrontation with head baddie Sanchez. Acclaimed author Damien Casey brings a modern spin to J.R. Bookwalter's original script. You'll never read comic books the same way again!

    Robot Ninja - Damien Casey

    1

    Five hundred dollars and some middle-aged soccer mom? That’s all you bozos got me? Esmeralda Evil is upset, downright pissed off. She sent her three goons to rob the local sporting goods store and they came back with pocket change and the owner’s wife.

    Yeah, but, says Dastardly Dan, maybe we can hold her hostage?

    Plus, says Horrid Harry. We’ve got all this drug money!

    Oh yeah! says Esmeralda as she throws her head back and lets out a cackle that rivals the wicked witch of the west.

    The villains laugh and slap each other's backs.

    Outside, something stalks through the freshly cut lawn.

    A force of Justice, a force for good.

    With one foot placed in front of the other, justice strides to the front door and kicks it in.

    Curses! shouts Esmeralda. Get ‘im boys!

    One of the henchmen leaps forward toward the intruder and is met with the flat of a combat boot in the chest. Five of his ribs shatter on impact, one pierces his heart instantly killing him. The blood fills his body and coats his insides like a water balloon ready to burst.

    Another wields a knife but is shoved out of the way by an enraged Esmeralda; this was her brother the intruder just eliminated. She rushes forward with a knife of her own, but the intruder has a surprise. The intruder slashed his arm fast, the three blades extending from his glove slice through the flesh of Esmeralda’s chest. She falls in a heap of blood and shredded flesh.

    Harry leaps forward and catches the claws across his face. His severed nose slides across the floor in the path of Dan. Dan’s foot comes down on the severed sniffer and the effect is that of a banana peel in a Three Stooges routine. As Dan falls forward toward the masked avenger, he feels the tip of a boot kick his chest and send him flying backward. His head strikes a metal pole splitting his skull and killing him instantly.

    On the floor, Mary Mercy struggles against the tape her captors used to hold her arms and legs together. The masked man swipes his claws out and frees her from her bindings. She stands and takes in his appearance; dressed in all black with a mask made of metal creating a sort of wrap around his eyes and mouth, she can’t decide if he’s here to help or here to cause more problems.

    Who are you? she asks.

    The man who caught the boot tries to attack the masked man from behind. The guy in the mask shoots his fist back, the metal holding the claw to his hand shatters the man’s nose and sends fragments of bone into his brain.

    I am the Robot Ninja, the masked man says pointing his finger at Mary. And remember kids, drugs are not cool.

    Mary leaps up and wraps her arms around the robot ninja, Robot Ninja! You’re my hero!

    No, says Robot Ninja. Courageous citizens like you are the real heroes.

    The scene freezes and laughter can be heard.

    Two people sit on a couch watching this scene play out on TV in front of them.

    Boy, says the man. Best idea I ever had letting NBC have the rights to this.

    And to think, says a woman. Lenny Miller was SO opposed to the show being all CGI like the Marvel movies!

    Lenny Miller is just a pretentious artist. He can’t STAND the fact that everyone is saying Robot Ninja is the new Iron Man!

    He doesn’t get how much money we can make; the social media engagement has been through the roof!

    I tried to tell him, I said, look, Lenny. The Walking Dead, The Avengers, Robert BATTINSON, what do they all have in common? Money baby! Money! He didn’t get it. He said something about ‘my artistic vision’ blah blah blah and ‘the fans expect’ blah blah blah. The fans hated Black Adam too! But guess what? They all went and watched it! It made money! Who cares about artistic whatchamacrap!"

    The man pushes play on the show. On screen, Mary rubs the side of Robot Ninja’s face and says, I wish I could see what was behind that mask…

    Fans were outraged! says the woman. We’ve gotten a million tweets and comments about how Robot Ninja would NEVER be a part of a cheap romantic angle… They’ll still tune in next week though!

    It’s Batfleck all over again! says the man. Batman doesn’t kill people in the comics, but he did in the movie and sequels you schmucks paid your hard-earned money to see!

    I wonder what Lenny thinks of this week's episode…

    Lenny will get over it! Hey, you look like the kind of woman who could do some interesting tricks with a tube of lipstick.

    Lenny Miller is absolutely pissed. The kind of pissed that usually is only accompanied by some form of legal settlement and a pack of lawyers. He’s spent years upon years of his life investing all of his time into the Robot Ninja franchise. Now this, this bullshit show. His life’s work has been shat all over.

    Last night he got a text from his mom that said, LENNY! The show is everything we knew it would be!!!! Your father said it reminds him of Captain America! XOXOXO

    If he wasn’t pissed off before that, he was then. He stood up and moved toward the TV with a purpose. He was going to leave a size eleven Nike footprint right in the middle of it. As he was about to kick out with all of his might he remembered NetFlix was dropping the entire fourth season of Odd Happenings in a week and he needed a TV to binge.

    He settled for giving the television set the sternest middle finger he possibly could.

    That was last night.

    Currently, he’s sitting outside of the TV station’s headquarters planning to go inside and make some heads cave in over the shit he watched last night.

    He couldn’t tell if the Robot Ninja series was actually live action or some weird animation. That’s how much CGI was used. To make matters worse, some of it was bad CGI. It looked like the graphics from a PlayStation game. Not the PS5 either, the original PlayStation. The blocky one. Was there some sort of Lego tie in? Thats the only thing that makes sense. Why else would it be as blocky as it is?

    Goddamnit he hated it.

    He slams his car door and makes his way across the parking lot. He steps in front of a car that slams on its brakes and lays on the horn.

    Pedestrians have right of way, asshole! Lenny says while giving this car a middle finger of around the same amount of sternness as his TV set.

    He barges through the front door and walks up to the front desk. Each step he takes radiating of pissed off. He’s a walking time bomb ready to explode.

    Um, hi, yes, I’m here to see my agent Rip, he says as politely as possible to the young guy sitting behind the desk.

    Still fuming, but still falling victim to the millennial curse of being polite to a stranger.

    Who are you exactly? The guy asks.

    I'm Lenny Miller.

    …and that means what to me?

    "Listen here, booger dick. I created Robot Ninja, then your
