“Ninjak” #1 should fulfill all of your deepest ninja fantasies. Seriously there is nothing like this ninja on the pages of any other comic. Valiant has been building the character in their various other titles for some time now. Despite the insane amount of covers the interior art is something else, it has surreal layouts, action packed narrative, and oozes style. Valiant Entertainment has recently been on a roll, every single #1 they’ve launched has been a winner and “Ninjak” looks no different.
Next week Matt Kindt takes our favorite comic ninja and kicks our ass between the pages. I can’t wait.
