As we've known since 1984—the year that Larry Hama and Steve Leialoha gave us "Silent Interlude" in G.I. Joe #21—ninjas and silent issues make the perfect match in comics.

It's no surprise then, to see today's Ninjak #22 from Valiant Entertainment forgo dialogue or narrative captions for a special, nearly silent stealth adventure by Matt Kindt and CAFU.

We're given some brief mission intel from Ninjak's contact at MI-6, Neville Alcott, but from there Ninjak's off to the races to locate his ex-girlfriend/bitter enemy, Roku. And you'd be amazed at what Ninjak can do while keeping his sardonic wit at bay.

Get into fights inside tunnels…

And take on a small army of killer monks.

It seems that silence really is golden. We should all give an extra round of applause to CAFU for the spot-on visual storytelling here.

Will Ninjak usurp Snake Eyes as the most effective silent ninja in comics? We'll have to let history decide…
