i know that this might be a shot in the dark but i used to buy the RGB comics and distinctly remember the latter ones being a bit darker in tone. there was one with some ninjas in. does anyone remember this or is it just me??
Hm…I may have to recheck…but off the top of my head, the only ninjas I remember were three culists who dressed as ninjas in their quest to revive “The Nameless One” in RGB#5. One of them was rather round, and there were numerous “fat ninja” jokes.
Actually, the darkest ones in tone were near the middle of Volume 1: issues 9-11, released in early 1989. “The Father Thing Trilogy” featured a rather nasty demon named Astorath, his wicked-cool sorcerer henchman Mister Blaque, and most of the people on Earth getting turned into monsters at one point. It's generally considered the finest story the comic ever did, and it's grim tone puts it right up there with TV episodes like “Ragnarok and Roll”
