5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 26 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Ronin (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars rockin' ronin, 11 Feb 2003
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, weakness and ultimate triumph.

I don't mean to come over all Homeric but this work is a GRAPHIC NOVEL , where the art, Miller's own and truly distinctive ,is fully comlementary to the superb dialogue and the characterisations of both major and minor figures. From the opening sequence in ancient Japan - and oh how powerful that is to the near future, with nearly -omniscent and disturbingly human computers - Miller does not put a pen-stroke wrong.

And I use the words "disturbingly humen" advisedly as the main computer is more humane than many of the characters with souls.

A disturbing vision of the future? A disturbing vision of humanity much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of te finest graphic novels out there., 16 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Ronin (Paperback)
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".

2.0 out of 5 stars 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

5.0 out of 5 stars 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.

2.0 out of 5 stars 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

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, leaves you guessing
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. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Miller's Overlooked Classic!
Probably the most unappreciated of Miller's work, "Ronin" is nevertheless one of his greatest achievements. Read more
