From the publisher:

“X-O Manowar has landed on Earth – and now the world’s most lethal intelligence agent has a new target. But who is the operative known as Ninjak? And who – or what – has marked Aric of Dacia for death by his blade? Find out when the all-new, all-ruthless Ninjak makes his shocking debut – and cuts his way to the forefront of the Valiant Universe!”

  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!
