Matt Kindt is my favorite writer who's worked in the Valiant Universe, and his work on Ninjak is one of the reasons why. Valiant's super ninja takes on a series of the most dangerous assassins in the world, all of whom he's either encountered before or has some connection to. It's a ridiculous premise that Kindt manages to pull off.
If you're int he mood for an action movie level suspense story, you should check this out.

3.5 stars if Goodreads would let me.
Mooooar Ninjas. Mooooooar.
This was a fun arc. It had Ninjak going off the grid and tracking down members of the Shadow Seven. Each issue Ninjak battles a new warrior trained by the Undead Monk.
There's some badass Ninja fighting and, all in all, I got a kick outta this comic as much as I did with the first volume.
The art in this one was kind of all over the place. There was more than one artist involved and some of it I loved and some of it...not so much.
What I really like so far with Ninjak is that it's not getting all caught up with the rest of the Valiant universe. At least not yet anyways. I don't need to read 6 or 7 other books so I can understand what is happening in this one. It's a common problem I have with Valiant. It's refreshing to read a title from them that is easy to understand all on its own.
That said, so far with Ninjak, there really isn't all that much that I need to understand. Its pretty straight forward and maybe even a little bit to simple.
Ninja. Sword. Kill.
I'm okay with that, though. Ninja. Sword. Kill. is kind of fun to read about. :)
Hee-Yah, motherfuckers!

In this volume (only 4 issues, which seems weak). the arc from the first volume is continued as Ninjak goes even more off the grid than he was before (which was pretty much completely) and hunts down more of the fantastic four the fearsome five the sinister six the secret six the shadow seven. Each issue is about one of the seven and how Ninjak finds and deals with them. We get some back story along the way of his childhood, just like previous issues. Also like previous issues, there is a story section at the back about when he first became a spy. Frankly, I am very very happy they didn't try to mix that in with the normal story. The one flashback is enough. Dealing with three timelines mixed together is just too much. But it being at the end of each issue lets you get in the right mindset for it and leave the present day story behind for a bit.
Also... ninjas. Magic. Spy stuff. I'm way happier with this series than I was expecting to be. It's that right mix of fighting and spying and weird abilities that must be magic or mutations or something they don't even attempt to explain.
