Ninjak Volume 1: Weaponeer by Matt Kindt

4.0

As Kindt fans already know, Kindt knows his way around a spy yarn, and this story bounces away from and into Ninjak (make that Ninja K)'s mission to show multiple motivations, backstories, and alternate takes that criss-cross for maximum impact. If this was simply "Ninjak is assigned a mission and fights for awhile before a hard-won victory," it would get bland quickly, but instead all of the clever machinations of Ninjak's skills, tools, and parent organization are given just enough panels to look flashy before swerving into another unexpected, tragic context.
