The Ninjettes #5

Spinning out of the pages of Jennifer Blood, this Dynamite Entertainment issue wraps up the series with a cover that perfectly captures the trio's irresistible mix of cute and deadly — three masked young women in schoolgirl uniforms posed against a pastel-pink backdrop scattered with cherry blossoms and plush stuffed animals, each armed with ninja weapons including shurikens, a sword, and a halberd. The central figure in the red balaclava strikes a playful pose up front while her blue- and yellow-masked companions flank her, throwing stars and a katana in hand, a tiny stuffed puppy sitting cheerfully at the corner. It's a wonderfully disarming visual contrast that makes The Ninjettes #5 a genuinely fun close to this 2023 run.
