I thought the art by Adam Pollina was excellent. He drew a sequence of Ninjak doing a backwards flip which was exceptional :clap: Only gripe was that he drew Peter Stancheck with his long hair and beard and I don’t think enough time had passed by for it to re-grow after the events in issue #4? At least Stancheck looked his normal age again after appearing to be 44 yrs old for the last few issues.

I thought the story was decent although I was unclear how the Ninjak/Livewire interaction tallied with Ninja-k #11?

4/5 - much better than the previous issues and extra recognition for the art.

Art was nice. This definitely should have come out before Ninja-K #11. Seems wonky afterward. The story wasn't gripping, it read like backstory. Most interesting stuff was the Livewire/Ninja-K moments which we've already got in that other book. Dunno what's up with Kindt lately or if this was forced. This whole event was just kinda pointless.

5/10 on my end. Just flat.

Assuming there's a second issue to continue what we've seen here, I suppose it was okay.

Although I'll say again, I can live without the mindless virtue signaling.

The inside flap of Livewire #1 is probably as close as you're gonna get. I don't know of any arc summaries that are available.
