Yea, I really liked it too. I'm beginning to hate that therre isn't much to talk about in #1 issues, so I'll just make it short and sweet.
Clay Mann was a lot better than anticipated. Better than X-O 0 imo. Butch Guice was phenomenal.
It's super interesting flashing back to Ninjak's childhood, but it's even more nteresting seeing his first days as 'Ninjak.'
The new villains, Roku and that sumo-wrestler looking guy, were great. Roku is legitimately terrifying, and the mob sequences reminded me of The Raid in the best way possible.
spoilers:
There's other Ninja's under the employ of MI-6? And the reason for Ninjak's name is because.. Ninja-K!?!? |
end of spoilers
Neville is awesome. He better be in every issue, because their banter is always fresh, funny, and snappy. They both respect and count on eachother in a sort of unspoken way.
And one complaint:
I didn't know what the fuck was going on during the first fight scene between Ninjak and Roku.
EDIT: Comparing first issues:
1. The Valiant
2. Imperium
3. Ninjak
4. Timewalker
5. Divinity
