Killers #1 is a book that spins out of Ninja-K, but it can also be read as a standalone story without any trouble. It's a comic that has a unique flavor to its art, the work of Dagnino with Jose Villarrubia supporting him on colors is powerful, smooth and enjoyable to read. Without a doubt, it's the highlight of the book for me. Read Full Review
I can hardly wait to see where this goes, more importantly, how we get there. Read Full Review
Ninjas, super powers, mystery and tons of action....what else could you want from a book called Killers? While I would highly recommend checking out Ninjak: Weaponeer or Ninja-K vol 1 at the least before reading this to fully grasp the beauty of the vicious nature of the Ninjas of the Ninja Programme, this is still a solid first issue. Having had a sneak peak of the second issue I can confidently say any misgivings one might have about coming into this blind will swiftly be dashed so if you're not totally sold, remember patience is a virtue for a reason.

Killers #1 gives the world of assassins a little more flavor. Just when you thought you saw everything the Ninja Programme had to offer? This new story shows you that there is much more to explore. After seeing what the first two killers are capable of, I can't wait to see what the rest have in store for us, and what the Jonin has in store for them as a whole. Read Full Review
The Killers are the survivors of MI6's Ninja Programme and they are backed into a corner without knowing who is after them or who to trust. The action begins with thrilling spy versus spy maneuverings in what looks likely to be an explosive and mysterious series. Read Full Review
A strong opening issue, that manages to bring fresh life to a sometimes jaded genre, the spy thriller. Good characters, strong concept, good creators. Sort of a ‘if Jason Bourne had super powers' vibe. Read Full Review
Killers is off to a great start with its first issue. It's a tale of international espionage, but it's unlike any you have ever seen. With fantastic writing, a gripping story and great artwork, it's definitely a book I recommend picking up, and I can't wait to see what happens next! Read Full Review
It's not the most unique premise, but Killers #1 does enough to differentiate itself in a crowded room providing a fun and kinetic entry point into the world of Ninjak. Read Full Review
Strong art and coloring overcome some issues with pacing and dialogue, and the introduction of the characters is successful in execution, making me want more of our ninja duo. Read Full Review
While somewhat interesting on the surface, there isn't really much to explain why readers should care about the eponymous characters of the "Killers" miniseries. Read Full Review
It shows promise but hopefully the story picks up the pace going forward. Read Full Review
In ways, sure. It's not that this is a bad book, it's just overly familiar which doesn't help the book stand out on the shelf amid stronger or more interesting series. Read Full Review
