So, here's the deal.
I am a loyal White Ninja comics fan, it is my go to source when i'm having a bad day, heck, even when i'm having a good day.
The format of the book is nothing really different from visiting whiteninjacomics.com, which isn't a bad thing.

It goes about as how you'd expect it; appealing cover, dedication page, introduction paragraphs (which can be found at their previously mentioned website), a nice selection of comics (I wonder how they went about choosing which ones to use actually) and nice extras that cannot be seen on the website (ex: white ninja sketchings, discarded comics and the 'real' origination of white ninja, etc).

I was very pleased with my purchase until I realized that there are DUPLICATE comics sprinkled about in the book. I love contributing money to the white ninja creators, but what gives?

Not that i'm bitterly angry or anything, I just thought I should point this out.

I just counted them and 30 is a lot more than I expected, which is why I subtracted a star. Otherwise, honestly, the white ninja guys can do no wrong.
Maybe I was the lucky one to get the janked out copy.

Best wishes to those who endeavor to get this book. It's nice regardless.

I got this book about two weeks ago and absolutely loved it. It was such a good deal and totally worth the money I paid. I would recommend this book to anyone as well as purchasing it amazon which did a good job delivering a quality product as advertised.

White Ninja, to the naked eye, is just a really weird comic. Although it often teaches nothing, has no type of logical 'punchline' and rarely proves any points, it's really a light-hearted read that just somehow manages to make you laugh.

Some of my favourites include, "White Ninja Writes a Poem," and, "White Ninja Befriends a Small Child".

If you don't mind the strangeness of the comic, you'll enjoy the humour. If you don't, well, maybe you shouldn't read White Ninja, now should you?

"White Ninja" is a surreal comic experience. The strip is very stream-of-consciousness and frequently has either no logic or uses juxtapositions of unrelated themes within a strip. In other words, the strip often fails utterly to make sense, which is what makes this a work of comic genius and keeps it decidedly out of the mainstream.

My favorite of all the strips in this book is "White Ninja and the Banjo Raccoon", which despite the title actually deals with snake taxidermy. How's that for odd?

My other favorite was "White Ninja Writes a Poem" in which our fearless hero pens a distracted ode to his beloved thusly:

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
I am a ninja.
Daisys [sic] are white.
Robots kill.
I need groceries.

I see no possible way to improve upon either the poem or the strip.
