He returns to the 'burbs to discover that something isn't right. Unfortunately for CatNinja, things in the 'burbs work differently than he's used to, so he returns to the city on patrol, but finds someone else saving the day. I received a DRC and found it to be a fun tale.Ĭat Ninja leaves the big city behind for the suburbs when he goes with Leon and Marcie to visit their father. I enjoyed this one quite a bit, but then, it's not hard to adore ninja cats, clever hamsters, and the rest of the crew. The entire thing does end with a bit of a cliff-hanger.so the next book won't be a stand-alone? We'll see. And the text gives what is needed and lets the illustrations do the rest. Even the bad guys shine, especially since there are additional panels to give a little backstory on each one. It's wonderful to see the characters in action with all of their various personality quirks. The illustrations are bright and bold or carry just the right amount of secret dimness, letting the atmosphere of each situation come across nicely. This one is all about action and fun and intrigue and.well, super-spy adventure. The situations do ring a bit of familiarity for anyone having to find new friends and steering the waters of divorced parents, but that's not the main thrust. The reader does get a chance to discover the newness of everything, since the family is just moving into the new neighborhood and has some 'new' beginnings themselves.

This graphic novel features two diverse siblings, exciting panels, one superhero cat, a robot-dog, a humorous hamster and tons of adventure. The panels of backstory about Fish-Face Malone and the rest of the villains were so appreciated. The illustrations have such beautiful vibrant colors, and I especially loved the martial arts style feline kicks and moves. I've seen reviews that describe this as being like Phineas and Ferb, which fits it perfectly. It was fun to watch them interact with Marcie and Leon and then go out on missions. I loved the way Cat Ninja and Master Hamster had their alter ego/pet personalities and their superhero status. I could read tons of stories about him, he's surly and just downright funny. Stiches also had me in stiches with his workout routine. Cat Ninja/AKA Claude also this time assists the crime fighter, Octopunch in dealing with a rampaging monster truck. There's lots of action as the masked feline shreds his way across the pages on his board with his pal Adonis in tow. I can see why it's one of Epic! most popular series. An unexpected visit from their new next-door neighbor with a welcoming gift, and the disappearance of Master Hamster, leads Cat Ninja and robot-dog Adonis on a chase through Peaceful Valley hunting the notorious Goldfather and his slimy henchmen.Ĭat Ninja is a totally new series to me which I thoroughly enjoyed. In the latest installment of this graphic novel, Cat Ninja, Master Hamster and the family have moved from Metro City to Peaceful Valley after their dad purchased a new house.
