Format:Paperback
Haunting and and disturbing, Ronin goes from formal horror to the hopelessly comic and has a twist ending that kept me guessing until the very last page. This is one of the best graphic novels I have read. It is easily on the same level as Kingdom Come and The Dark Night Returns.

Format:Paperback
I often reread this superb book. The artwork is of the finest calibre, and the story line is brutally effective and subtle in the extreme. It leaves you guessing at the end, and in my case mildly hoping. Combines all the subject matter of a good science fiction story along with that of anexcellent and unusual psychological thriller. Definitely Millers best, if least acclaimed work.

If you like science fiction and suspence all in the same book along with japanese characters then you have got to read Ronin. Like Millers other masterpiece "Batman:The Dark Knight Returns" it has the same artwork and depth. Even though Mr. Millers artwork doesn't come close to that of someone like Chaep Yaep, the story more than makes up for it. In the tradition of "Akira" it combines Japanese cultue with a futuristic prescence. If you liked "Dark Knight" you'll love Frank Millers' "Ronin".

Whilst being a fan of Frank Millar, I found Ronin to be a below Par effort from him. Maybe I'm missing the point ( and I'm sure many will disagree ) but

NOT ONE OF MILLER'S BEST
I bought ronin thinking yet another great book from Miller but I foud it rather disappointing. The art for one is nowhere near the likes of sin city or 300. Read more

Before "The Dark Knight Returns' Frank Miller turned up with this, his 'second' greatest work. A tale of japanes demons, science barely under control, sacrifice, greed, nobility,... Read more

While intense, Miller was still learning the ropes
Intense, vastly experimental for its day, but pales before Dark Knight Returns, Miller's still unequaled masterpiece.

Overhyped crap!
I found this book to be extremely boring. So boring that I only read half of it before I quit. The only reason this book gets two stars is because of Miller's artwork. Read more

Miller's Overlooked Classic!
Probably the most unappreciated of Miller's work, "Ronin" is nevertheless one of his greatest achievements. Read more
