Nth Man the Ultimate Ninja #15

The penultimate issue of Marvel's Nth Man the Ultimate Ninja arrives with a cover by Ron Wagner and Joe Rubinstein that tosses the reader straight into dangerous company — a menacing red-masked figure flanked by armed, grinning thugs, while a blue-haired woman crouches warily in the foreground and a white-haired figure watches from the edge of the frame. The sardonic speech bubble — "Welcome to Three Mile Fantasy Island!" — sets a tone that's equal parts threat and dark humor, perfectly suited to Larry Hama's offbeat 1990 adventure series. With Ron Wagner on interior art and Fred Fredericks inking, this "One Year Later…" chapter promises the kind of unpredictable, globe-spanning energy that made Nth Man one of Marvel's more distinctive late-'80s/early-'90s action titles.
