  Mark Moretti and Joe Quesada created Ninjak in the Bloodshot series but the character became so popular he got his own series. Colin King is the rich son of a British agent raised in the Far East where he was an outcast. After his father’s murder King became a martial arts master to bring his father’s killer to justice and later a master spy.

  X-O Manowar is a popular choice and book of the month with my Comic Book Reading group!
