The Rundown: The Science Ninja Team tries to find a way to stop Galactor’s newest plot.
Trapped by a giant creature attacking a research facility, the Science Ninja Team must do something desperate with the God Phoenix if they have any chance of escape. As they pull free from the creature, the return home not knowing that there was another motivation behind the attack.
As Lord Berg Katse begins the next phase of Galactor’s plan, another scientist finds herself in the crosshairs of his elite strike team. A team that will find itself facing the Science Ninja Team as Galactor begins another assault.
The Story: Bunn crafts a fun and thrilling adventure with the definite style and sensibility of the anime the series is based on. Everything from the pacing to the dialogue has a fantastic rhythm and cadence that is instantly nostalgic while crafting a new and interesting story for these character as well as the reader. After two issues, I am on board with this series and excited to see where it goes next.
The Art: Batista brilliantly captures the look and feel of the anime with the art in the issue while also crafting new and exciting visuals that grabbed my attention.
