Could they not have had a flashback where Ninjak's father lets him talk to his grandmother on the phone for the first time?
HUGE editorial blunder.

Spoiler-y in the best way. As they give just enough information without really giving anything away. Looking forward to seeing where this is going. I just wish it wasn't another 2-3 months away.

BugsySig - I just posted something in the spoiler section just to keep things kosher. What was important about that location (see spoiler thread)?

What I don't get is how X-O can vaporize that guy's face and then somehow...Ninjak gets the best of him. Will have to wait for issue 5, I suppose.

Neanderthal-in-a-can? Do they sell that at Costco? Could come in handy in a pinch.

I agree. This is the first issue where I feel the issue could have been from VH1.

As to the preview pages - the art is looking real good, I think X-O's second story arc is in good hands artistically. I wasn't a Ninjak fan back in the day, but I'm still looking forward to seeing what they do with him this time around.
