FRANK MILLER'S RONIN ...pure male ID, in full samurai color!

This week we are reading 1983's RONIN by comics superstar Frank Miller and longtime colorist and collaborator Lynn Varley. This 6 issue mini-series was ground-breaking in many ways, as Miller, and then relative newecomer and rockstar hot off the heels of Daredevil, was recruited by DC to do...pretty much whatever he wanted - paving the way for creator-centric works like the Dark Knight Returns and many more of comics greatest works

Ronin tells the story of a disgraced samurai warrior and his sworn demonic enemy Agat - awakened from a centuries-long slumber trapped inside a magical sword. The two are reincarnated in a near future dystopic NYC run by a benevelont technology corporation and their friendly sentient AI. The Ronin finds himself in the body of an armless, legless telekinetic named Billy, and creates cybernetic limbs, and Agat possesses the corporate head of the aforementioned company, also known as Aquarius. Also, there's a badass head of security whose storyline does not pass the Bechdel test. A beautiful book, where like Elsa said, you just gotta let it go.
