STREET ANGEL TAKES ON THE NINJA-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX THIS NOVEMBER
PORTLAND, OR, 08/27/2018 — The Eisner Award-winning team of Jim Rugg (Afrodisiac, The Plain Janes) and Brian Maruca (Afrodisiac) will release STREET ANGEL VS NINJATECH—a brand-new tale starring your favorite homeless heroine, Jesse Sanchez—this November from Image Comics.
After a hard fight with Ninja Carl, the deadliest girl alive seeks revenge—against the company that manufactured his dangerous weapons. It sure is convenient that it’s take-your-daughter-to-work day!
In her new adventure, Street Angel makes some friends, kinda; helps out a witch, sorta; and fights the Assassin of the Future™: the Ninja 6000 ® by Ninjatech.
“What’s scarier than a 13-year-old girl?” asked Rugg. “A team of 13-year-old ninja girls! Look out, ninja-industrial complex—it’s time for payback!”
STREET ANGEL VS. NINJATECH HC (Diamond code: SEP180117, ISBN: 978-1-5343-0856-5) will be available in comic book stores on Wednesday, November 7th. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, October 8th.
It will be available in bookstores on Tuesday, November 13th and can be preordered via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Indiebound, and Indigo.

I've read a couple of her stories, and I think she pretty much always battles ninjas.
I like Jim Rugg's work, but it always seems to come up a little hollow for me. I do own Afrodesiac*, but I just realized I've never read it. I may have to give that one a read and get back with you.
*This is a book that I bought long ago, and just realized that it's on a shelf that I pass by every day, and always make a subconscious note of it, but until now, never a conscious note.
Someone needs to fight all those bloody ninjas. Place is lousy with them!
