LOS ANGELES 02/03/2026— Today Skybound and Image Comics, in partnership with global children’s book publisher AMEET, announced the graphic novel release of LEGO® NINJAGO®: DARK ISLAND TRILOGY. Perfectly timed in celebration of LEGO NINJAGO’S 15th anniversary, the first-ever collection of the iconic series by writer Greg Farshtey and artist Paul Lee will be available everywhere books are sold May 2026, featuring a new cover by Tri Vuong (Everyday Hero Machine Boy).
Long out of print, LEGO NINJAGO: DARK ISLAND TRILOGY is a key piece of Ninjago lore—essential for longtime fans and increasingly relevant to LEGO’s ongoing storytelling, while still remaining new reader friendly.
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 continues the landmark partnership between Skybound and AMEET to publish LEGO branded graphic novels. The all-new LEGO NINJAGO: STRIKE OF THE SERPENTINE, from rising stars Cameron Chittock (Mapmakers, TMNT x Stranger Things) and Will Morris (Gospel), will be available in February 2026 and LEGO NINJAGO: GARMADON and LEGO NINJAGO: SHATTERSPIN, both by critically acclaimed writer/artist Tri Vuong, are available now.
Each graphic novel is the result of an unparalleled collaboration between AMEET, Skybound, and the LEGO Group’s LEGO NINJAGO transmedia team that connects the graphic novels with the TV show and product line.
LEGO NINJAGO: DARK ISLAND TRILOGY (978-1-5343-3426-7 | SRP $19.99) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, June 3,2026, and at booksellers, along with digital platforms including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play on Tuesday, June 30, 2026.
