Ninjak Volume 1: Weaponeer
by Matt Kindt
This was...a ton of fucking fun.
I know, I know, we've seen this before. A white dude masters the arts of the ninja way and becomes a badass warrior with super technology to take down the bad guys. Oh, is that Batman calling? Well yeah. But the thing is there's only so many ideas but it's how you do them. Ninjak is smart in it's way. Giving us flashbacks, between his childhood, while also his first missions as a killer, and then of course the current storyline. Some supernatural flare with spy-like James bond shit basically in a over the top but very fun storyline.
Good: The art is really solid. Everyone has a distinct look and the action flows smooth. The past storyline is very interesting and kind of flips the script on a Bruce like upbringing which I really enjoyed. Also the missing files were interesting add on to make Ninjak past more interesting for me.
Bad: Some of the dialog, especially internal dialog, can be a bit stretched and too much. Also the main villain here is kind of meh.
Overall this was really fun, exciting, over the trip trippy adventure. This is one Valiant series I will be buying more volumes for sure!
