Thanks for sharing! I've really been enjoying this series! At the risk of sounding like a broken record after commenting on Reddit, I'll just say that I'm loving the connections to the past, like the monks, the Killers, the Jonin, Marybeth, etc.

Read issue #1, not good.

Art is an improvement on the last 2 Ninjak series (not an achievement in itself) but Roku and the hair is just ridiculous. facepalm
For some reason, Alien’s current writers want to amp up the characters powers to ridiculous levels (eg Bloodshot). Here Roku has got the crazy hair, can walk into a sword without being damaged and apparently has done psychic abilities. :?

In this story, the girl they’re looking for can stream all electronic data into her mind, making her ‘possibly the most important person on the planet’? Sounds a bit like Livewire, surely she can track her down?

Anyway, Ninjak & Roku go from killing each other to working together.

For me the Roku story has been told, come to the table with new (credible) characters.

2.75 / 5 - pass on the rest of this, not compelling at all.

Bummer current Valiant is clueless and poor.

I agree. For me, this was one of the better series from this new wave Alien have releasing :thumb:
