The Ninjettes #3

Spinning out of the pages of Jennifer Blood, this 2012 Dynamite series puts a fierce all-female ninja squad front and center — and issue #3 delivers a cover that makes the team's intentions unmistakably clear. Admira Wijaya renders three masked warriors in a striking triangular composition: one wielding a katana, another brandishing a pair of blades, and a third at the apex armed with a spear and chain, all set against a blood-red backdrop that pulses with menace. With Al Ewing scripting "The Point Is of No Return" and Eman Casallos on interior art, this is sharp, stylish action comics that earns its edge.
