The long out-of-print LEGO NINJAGO: DARK ISLAND TRILOGY by writer Greg Farshtey and artist Paul Lee, will return this May for its first-ever collection.
Announced by Image Comics and Skybound, the long out of print, LEGO NINJAGO: DARK ISLAND TRILOGY is a seminal work of the franchise that’s considered a key piece of Ninjago lore—essential for longtime fans and increasingly relevant to LEGO’s ongoing storytelling, while still remaining new reader friendly. The series is penned by writer Greg Farshtey (Bionicle) alongside artist Paul Lee (The Dreaming, Batman: Under the Hood).
The official synopsis for the series reads: A new darkness threatens Ninjago as Master Wu senses a growing imbalance between good and evil. Will Master Wu and the ninjas’ Spinjitzu be enough against threats new and old alike? Or will the coming darkness sweep across Dark Island like a massive storm and take everyone with it?
“We’re thrilled to bring this out-of-print story back to LEGO NINJAGO fans everywhere,” said Diegs Lopez, Senior Editor at Skybound. “The Dark Island Trilogy is full of epic set pieces and Spinjitzu action and a must read for new and established fans.”
LEGO NINJAGO: DARK ISLAND TRILOGY launches in comic stores on Wednesday, June 3,2026.
