While a reveal at the end points to the next volume Not Being For Me, this was a solid action movie level comic. A bit of intrigue, returning characters, a spy being burned and having to start over from scratch. I'm not sure how that will play into the Unity books, where Ninjak is part of the Valiant Universe's Avengers team, but as a standalone story this was fun.

I really don't enjoy the flashback stories about the protagonist's parents. I get it. They're awful. They're selfish. They ruined their son's life. I do't kow why we have to keep seeing them be terrible.

Overall, after the last volume, this was a pleasant return to the original storyline.

Ninjak has returned from the Deadside and is back in the real world once again.

Time for a break, right?

Not if you're a Ninja.

Colin King (Ninjak) is stripped of everything he has. He loses his castle (which was pretty sweet) along with all his high-tech ninja gear (also pretty sweet) and all his money (bye-bye, rich boy). He's framed for mass murder and even MI-6, who he has been working for, no longer trusts him.

It's the classic Jason Bourne Ninja on the run storyline trying to track down and discover who is fucking up his life.

It's cool, though, because we get to fill in the blanks on the parts of his life that we haven't yet been made privy to.

It's also nice to see what kind of a warrior Colin King is without all of his fancy ninja tech.

*spoiler*
He's still a badass motherfucker.

3.5 stars if Goodreads would let me.
