the issue is full of social commentary, especially given that it came out in 2017 when was happening, Ninja-G has to deal with both racism and sexism. She starts off in the Honeytrap program but refuses to be sexually touched by men and is moved to the Ninja program because she keeps stabbing dudes.

There's a mention that the only reason MI6 expanded the Ninja program to include women was because the Soviets were including women. The men of the program harass her and accuse her of sleeping her way to the top.

She refuses to kill IRA cells that aren't targeting civilians which makes MI6 mad.

And her handler is a white woman using her (a black woman) skills to get past the glass ceiling. And MI6 considers her handler expendable too despite that.

2 panels from Ninja-K #4 showing Ninja-G stabbing a white blonde woman. Ninja G says "And with the help of the acclimation bureau she made sure I was always in a proper frame of mind to succeed. the last thing she said to me was: "You stupid bitch! you think you're special? They do it to all of us!"

I blew up her flat. Made it look like the IRA. Had some concern they'd dig deep enough to learn otherwise. But it seems handlers are expendable too."
