Livewire, the newest member of MI-6, is sent to Taiwan to
investigate a mysterious crash site. Ninjak goes in to locate her, only to
discover that Augustus Silkowski, also known as Dr. Silk, is back. He assembles
the team to go back and find Livewire and out what’s going on. Aric (X-O
Manowar) only agrees out of his respect for her. The team arrives in a nearby
village, only to find they are under some sort of mind control. Meanwhile,
Livewire regains consciousness only to realize what exactly they are up
against.
Matt Kindt brings back an old Ninjak villain for the
second arc of Valiant’s superhero team. Or are they? Granted, they haven’t
worked together much, but it seems difficult to see them be a “true” team. Not
that I have a problem with that. It takes time for a team to gel, and I hope
Mr. Kindt allows the cohesiveness to grow naturally. CAFU’s art is spectacular
as always. Valiant is hitting on all cylinders and it’s a cool thing to see
(and read).
UNITY #5 is in stores now, or available for ordering at
