Hey! That is one of my artists! ...

My running theory is that if you were born anywhere from 80-86 (81 myself), you will automatically have an affinity for anything with/related to ninjas.

 

I mean, I've still got my Rambo Ninja action figures, even...

[whisp]

I played with GI Joes and that was full of ninjas. Ninja turtles was right at the end of my playing with toys type age.

The story looks interesting, but the artwork looks too unfinished for my style.

Anyone else read this yet? I had a hard time getting into the story with the artwork and the story was ok. Nothing to write home about, I'll read the next issue before I decide to give the title the ax.

[easyt63]

I read the first four pages and just couldnt continue. The art is absolutely horrid, unfinished and really detracts from the story. So the book got the ax from me.

I bought it thinking it was the latest issue of Viking....

 

Haven't read it..flipped through it...I kindah like that sort of hap hazard art style, like Ahsley Wood.

I loved it. The first time I read through it, I missed alot of stuff. The second time through, it was awesome.

 

This book was nuts, but humorous too (in a good way..... like good Deadpool or Q&W). What they do with the word balloons is fantastic.

 

I'm used to Rossmo's art, so I loved it, particularly in B&W. His stuff tends to grow on people.

 

So far, most of the reviews on this book have been really good.

 

Looking forward to the next issue.

I read it and I must say it wasnt bad, but it wasent great either. I do intend to pick up the next issue when comes out.

[FrankCastle]

I just got my copy today and honestly I really liked it! I too am looking forward to issue 2.

If you haven't checked it out, give it a try.

#2 was insane. This book has made me laugh which isn't something I've done in a while for a comic. The art was cleaner in this issue too. This is a different type of series, but it's one that I very much enjoy.

[Annihilus]

I know this thread is like 6 months old, but as usual, I'm late to the party on this series too. Just picked up the first six issues off eBay for ten bucks and started to read it. WELL WORTH IT!

 

As a couple folks mentioned above, the artwork has an unfinished quality to it (kinda like ash wood), which not everyone is into, but I love the style. The story is offbeat, there's quite a bit to it, but it's easy to follow and entertaining. I added it to my pull list.

 

So what kept me from jumping in earlier? Honestly, I thought the book's title sounded retarded (re: gimmicky) and didn't even pay any attention to it. Hopefully I won't make that mistake again.

 

Anyone else still reading this?

yep, same here.

I skipped it so fast that I didn't even notice that Riley was drawing it.

 

I've still only read the first 2 issues b/c I missed out on getting #3... I believe that's my sole goal at HeroesCon this year. can't wait for the collection to be released, while the stack of current issues is just daring me not to read them from the corner of my coffee table.

 

I'm a really big fan of the art (cuz of Proof), and I really dug the first two issues. soooo annoyed that I missed #3. Soon... soon...

[arzach42]

I just picked up the books. Will let you know my thoughts.

[400yrs]

I'm still very much enjoying it. Not a light read by any means, but it makes me laugh and think which I can't really say about any other books.

[Transplant]

Just finished tpb #1. I was very hesitant to read this. The premise sounded gimmicky. But I enjoyed it tremendously and I look forward to reading the second trade, which I've already bought.

[SuperBird]

This book is insane and great.

[Schmakt]

sure was... I finally ended up getting #3... and then bought both TPB's as well. Pretty freaking dense storytelling, but very enjoyable.
