Review: Ninja-K #4

By Dustin Cabeal

I’m sure for some they’re probably tired of reading the backstories of former Ninjas, but I for one wish we had already gone through the alphabet once with this story. This issue is all about Ninja-G, and her story has similarities to the other Ninjas, but her race and gender make her story different.

Review: Ninja-K #3

By Dustin Cabeal

Admittedly, this issue is a little chatty. If you’re not super invested in the lore behind the Ninja program, then you’re going to be bored. For those of us that are vested, it’s more like, “Go on gentlemen, fire this all out here in the third issue please!” They don’t figure everything out, but Christos Gage introduces a concept that changes the superhero landscape.

Review: Ninjak vs. The Valiant Universe #1

By Dustin Cabeal

I will tell you something; I’m glad I read the first page of this comic. It’s a letter from Publisher Fred Pierce talking about the creation of this comic. The title of the series might be familiar in that it shares the name and concept as the web series that Valiant and Super Power Beat Down did last year.

Review: Ninja-K #2

By Dustin Cabeal

What has been particularly satisfying to me as a reader of Ninjak is how different Christos Gage’s era of the series has been already. All the familiar elements of the universe are there, but Gage isn’t attempting to continue Matt Kindt’s style. It gives the feel of the torching having been passed. Hopefully, like Kindt, Gage will stay on the book for a great while.

Review: Ninja-K #1

By Daniel Vlasaty

Ninjak is something I’ve been aware of for some time now. As a comic book reader this should be obvious. He’s a character I’ve seen here and there. But one I don’t think I’ve ever actually sat down to read before. It’s kind of like that with a lot of the Valiant stuff for me, though. I’m aware of most of it, maybe even read an issue or two. But for whatever reason it’s a publisher I tend to pass by on the shelves. I don’t know why. It’s nothing personal. Nothing against Valiant or the books they’re steady putting out. I think that I just get so wrapped up in the DC, Marvel, and Image books I buy and read each week that I kind of forget about all the other companies putting new books out week after week.

Review: Ninjak #0

By Dustin Cabeal

If I’m not mistaken, this is the end of the Matt Kindt era of Ninjak. Which is a damn shame. Not that I’m not looking forward to Christos Gage’s take on the character, but I have enjoyed Kindt at the helm of the character. On a side note, I could be wrong, but it seems as if he’s scaling back his work at Valiant, which is a shame. I have enjoyed him as an architect of sorts at the publisher.

Review: Rapture #1

By Levi Remington

The consistently impressive and ever boundless Matt Kindt, who has fast become an arbiter of the Valiant universe, is teaming up again with artist CAFU for Rapture, a 4-issue standalone event series. The book stars Ninjak and Shadowman as they take to the Deadside with Geomancer Tama and Punk Mambo to defend against an ancient evil that threatens to breach the heavens, bringing cataclysm to Earth. Valiant promises a "Tolkien-esque" journey through the Deadside, making for the publisher's first ever high-fantasy epic. Read ahead for my thoughts on the first issue after I translate the gleeps and glorps

Review: Ninjak #26

By Dustin Cabeal

Totally willing to admit that I haven’t kept up with Ninjak, but unlike a lot of superhero comics, Matt Kindt makes it easy to jump back on the series. Point in case, this is a pretty big conclusion to a storyline, and once again it involves the Shadow Seven, Roku, and Master Darque. I’ll say this much; the series does need some new villains because I am getting super tired of that dude with the creepy little hands. He’s great because of those hands, but he’s still just creepy as fuck.
