Re: Killers #2 Discussion
Pretty much with VCR on this one. It was alright. I think I enjoy moments of the issue more than the issue or story as a whole.

Re: Killers #2 Discussion
I enjoyed it! The art is great and the plot is moving along nicely! Only gripe at this point would be no Ninja•K.... Ninja•K was definitely a part of the marketing and early promotion for this book! So far, he’s a no show, but it’s still early.

Re: Killers #2 Discussion
I'm loving this series so far. The continuity is on point and the action is what I want from a Ninjak/Ninjak-themed book.
Went back and re-read Ninja-K #4 for Ninja-G origin which added a little more depth to the story. Starting to feel like Valiant is getting back on track

Re: Killers #2 Discussion
Just so so for me this series and mediocre is no longer good enough as Valiant has been so poor since the new editorial came in. But, I’d optimistically pre-ordered the series for the Whilce Portscio covers so here I am.
I think it’s a misstep to make the ninja’s (including Ninjak) mystically powered, basically psiots, and it’s lazy writing. Too many characters in Valiant U have the ability ‘de-age’ so again this seems lazy writing to have yet another character have this ability. It’s not a bad book by any means but it’s needs to improve in the final 3 issues otherwise it will join War Mother, Forgotten Queen, Gen Zero, Psi Lords, Livewire etc as instantly forgettable.
Art was probably the best thing about the book.
3/5
