Having only read Ninjak to review, Iam left wondering why this book isn't on my regular pull list.It features a strong story line, an engaging character and a well thought out “long game plan”.However, I think the story of a man without access to his usual means and accoutrements has allowed this story to work better than previous issues I have read. That said, I would be interested in finding out how this little mini saga ends. Read Full Review

Ninjak #16 is a solid issue that brings back some of the earlier boldness in the story arc by revealing more about Roku's identity and Ninjak's past. From the beginning of this issue with Ninjak re-examining Roku's possible motives to the end when Ninjak would have a revelation this issue is intense. At times Ninjak's hunt for leads feels similar to last issue, and that would be my only complaint about it. Considering how intriguing the story becomes I wish more was devoted to that. And more than ever, the Lost Files segment at the end of the issue feels like mandatory reading because it's just as entertaining as the rest. I started to feel that this story arc wouldn't be as bold as it seemed at the start but now I have renewed hope, and it feels good. Read Full Review

As a Ninjak virgin, I was worried about jumping in headfirst, but I couldn't come up with any excuse to ignore it any longer.  I'm glad for that because this is just the sort of ultra-violent book I love and after a few pages, Matt Kindt had me up and running...for my life!  The story and great art by Diego Bernard had made an instant fan out of this guy. I'd say we can effectively check all the boxes necessary for Ninjak #16 to be declared Ninja-rific.   Read Full Review

The Siege of King's Castle is moving along far better than I expected as stripped down lead character stories can be fairly predictable, especially for a character like Colin that largely survives on wits and intelligence more than anything else. The progress through this book is really well laid out and it has a great sense of execution that works in a way where it's exciting but doesn't feel rushed nor make you feel like you've read the book in five minutes. Kindt and Bernard are definitely hitting things really well here with what they're doing as it's all coming together far better than I expected. Read Full Review

Ninjak #16 raises the stakes more than before and Colin finds out that revenge really can push someone to go as far as they did to ruin his life. The wait to get to this point could have got you for the knowledge of knowing Roku was behind this, though the execution of the reveal more than made up for it. Read Full Review

Ninjak #16 is part of a well conceived and executed story concept that is both entertaining and enjoyable. Read Full Review

I enjoyed the issue, Ninjak is one of my favourite characters and this series has been excellent so far. Hopefully next issue finally gets around to the big fight and it seems we are going to get some answers to questions raised during the first story arc. Read Full Review

Overall, this is a solid issue of Ninjak. It's far from bad, but I can't help but feeling there's a little missing. Read Full Review

Though Kindt is working on an epic scope on other titles, Ninjak #16 shows that his big stories aren't distracting him from his action-heavy tales of Valiant's resident super-spy. Read Full Review

Ultimately, while not a bad issue, we've seen this team deliver better. Read Full Review
