The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of NINJAK
#18 from Valiant Entertainment. The stories are by Matt Kindt, with art by Khari
Evans and Andres Guinaldo, colors by Ulises Arreola and Chris Sotomayor, and letters
by Dave Sharpe.
Some years into the future, Gilad (the Eternal Warrior)
sought out Colin’s help to track down Fakir who has escaped the custody of MI-6.
He agrees, only on the condition that they do it his way. Information leads them
to a location in the Himalayas that only a few know where it is. But what is
Fakir up to and can our valiant duo stop him in time?
In the backup story, Colin is dealing with the aftermath
of his world literally and figuratively being torn down. Neville visits to
inform him that the MI-6 agents Colin saved from the Deadside are slowly and painfully
dying from some disease. And that there’s a good chance he is infected too.
I really like the relationship between Colin and Gilad.
There’s a mutual respect there and it would be awesome to see these two team up
more (granted, they are fated too according to the BOOK OF DEATH). Matt Kindt
has been knocking it out of the park, this time aided with strong work from artists
Khari Evans and Andres Guinaldo, colorists Ulises Arreola and Chris Sotomayor. It’s
worth checking out if you’ve been on the fence!
NINJAK #18 is in stores now or available for ordering at www.valiantentertainment.com.
