Think you know everything about the silent, shadow-dwelling masters of ninjutsu? Think again.Do You Believe in Ninjas? is an utterly unique collection of the finest poetry about ninjas ever assembled. Well, at least that we know of. The others are all kept strictly top-secret. Acclaimed comic book writer and editor DJ Kirkbride (Amelia Cole, Popgun) leaves the grim seriousness of traditional martial arts behind to explore how a modern ninja actually copes with the mundane struggles of daily life.Spanning over 60 playful works—including free verse, rhythmic cautionary tales, (and no fewer than seven competitive ninja haiku slams) this collection proves that ninjas are people, too. They face the exact same problems we do: they get the jitters when they drink too much espresso, they love watching football, and they definitely eat their cereal out of a bowl just like the rest of us.Accompanied by the wonderfully kinetic illustrations of artist Chris Moreno, Do You Believe in Ninjas? is a fast, refreshing celebration of verse. It's the perfect addition to any comic lover, poetry enthusiast, or pop-culture fan's bookshelf.
