Summary
From Epic Originals comes an action-packed graphic novel series about a new breed of superhero。 Return to Metro City's furry underbelly in this exciting follow-up to Kirkus-starred Cat Ninja volume 1！
When Leon brings a mystery egg home from school， Cat Ninja and Master Hamster face their biggest challenge yet: babysitting！ And while they’re pretty sure they can keep an egg out of trouble， they know they’re in over their heads when that egg hatches into a high-energy ball of feathers and cuteness。 It’s baby’s first superhero adventure when they decide to bring their newest family member along as they uncover the identity—and nefarious motives—of Metro City’s latest foe。
Through the shared adventures of these former adversaries， kids learn the importance of:
• Using your powers—super or not！—to stand up for those who need your help
• Family， in all its forms
• Second chances

This series is so much fun， but I have come to expect great things from Epic！。 They really know how to make a fun， engaging story for all ages。 There is a super fun plot twist that I wasn’t even expecting that impressed me。 I love this little series so much！ It has humor， heart， tension， action， and a ninja cat called Cat Ninja （there’s a difference）。 Sometimes， in stories with animals as the main characters the humans are a drag。 But not the case here！ The kids in the story have just as much ch This series is so much fun， but I have come to expect great things from Epic！。 They really know how to make a fun， engaging story for all ages。 There is a super fun plot twist that I wasn’t even expecting that impressed me。 I love this little series so much！ It has humor， heart， tension， action， and a ninja cat called Cat Ninja （there’s a difference）。 Sometimes， in stories with animals as the main characters the humans are a drag。 But not the case here！ The kids in the story have just as much character as the animals and are still， realistically， coming to terms with their parents’ divorce。 And if it speaks to more of this story’s excellence， the main character， Cat Ninja never speaks outside of facial expressions， and it doesn’t hinder anything。 I liked him as a character。The cast of quirky heroes and villains all have some snazzy designs， and I can’t wait to see more of Thomas’ creations。 Hoot was cute as can be！ 。。。more

Fun middle grade graphic novel that gets into some wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff but doesn't make your head hurt with the timeline shenanigans。 Dynamic， bright art， fun characters， and some good lessons about right and wrong。 Fun middle grade graphic novel that gets into some wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff but doesn't make your head hurt with the timeline shenanigans。 Dynamic， bright art， fun characters， and some good lessons about right and wrong。 。。。more

Five more comic episodes featuring the ninja cat that everybody calls Cat Ninja。 A whole story arc threaded through things concerns the birth of a hatchling bird both he and his hamster nemesis have to look after， and for once this story more than engages and stops this being a series of one-shots to become a proper， combined book。 Before then things brighten up whenever a new baddy appears – with the Combat Wombat a clear best （at least until Elan Mollusk turns up）。 It's bright and breezy， it's Five more comic episodes featuring the ninja cat that everybody calls Cat Ninja。 A whole story arc threaded through things concerns the birth of a hatchling bird both he and his hamster nemesis have to look after， and for once this story more than engages and stops this being a series of one-shots to become a proper， combined book。 Before then things brighten up whenever a new baddy appears – with the Combat Wombat a clear best （at least until Elan Mollusk turns up）。 It's bright and breezy， it's got the intellectual level of a Hanna-Barbera cartoon， and it should go down well as a bit of exuberant entertainment – it's certainly， in the finish， a lot less disposable than first appearances suggest。 。。。more
