Ninjak Deluxe Edition #1

Valiant's 2017 Deluxe Edition collects Matt Kindt's "Who Is Roku?" arc in a handsome oversized package, with Clay Mann's cover setting the tone beautifully — a masked, sword-drawn Ninjak crouches in the foreground while two commanding figures loom behind him in a neon-lit urban setting, the tension between all three practically humming off the page. Mann's linework (with colors by Ulises Arreola) gives the whole composition a sleek, cinematic edge that suits Colin King's world of espionage and shadow perfectly. At $39.99, this is a generous way to experience one of Valiant's most stylish spy-action runs in a single, satisfying volume.
