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.

By the way, there are more preview pages that go with those (which are much more spoiler-y):

Its a good look at how the fill in artist is drawing XO...pretty sweet.

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.

I know...the biggest spoiler is the location of the first page...at least for any old school fans.

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

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.

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

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.
