Thoughtfully developed, this book does for Ninjak what none of his other tales have yet done for him: made him completely admirable and likeable. This story is a must-read, especially for fans of the larger Valiant Universe.
Lighter on quotable quips or humorous internet commentary than past issues, it attempts to get a little more serious than it may be capable of and the unfortunate fallout is the inexplicable small shifts in characterizations found within.
Not really sure what Kot should do. Until he learns what Valiant is all about (and also the characters) we can only hope he is not allowed anywhere near a Valiant book again. At least not with the unchecked character destructive freedom he was given on Dead Drop.
As we wind down on this series, fans of the original and people who haven’t read it, should be able to enjoy what Guggenheim and company have accomplished.
This is another stellar chapter in “The Darkseid War”! It’s hard to imagine anyone not reading this phenomenal issue, especially if they’ve been following the story. This series continues to be a must-buy!
What started out as a nice bit of fun being poked at the comic book industry turned out to be an incredibly impressive and well-balanced commentary that brought the reader through the same journey as Jared faced himself.
