☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis oversized hardcover collects Frank Miller's complete six-issue Ronin miniseries, a cyberpunk-meets-samurai epic originally published by DC Comics in 1983-1984. The story follows a masterless samurai from feudal Japan who is reincarnated in a dystopian New York City to battle the demonic entity Agat, with Casey McKenna serving as a key ally in the modern-day conflict. Presented in DC's Absolute format, this edition features restored art, extensive extras, and Miller's full creative vision for this genre-blending tale.
In the wake of Lord Ozaki’s death, a young samurai takes up the mantle of ronin to safeguard the fallen lord’s mystical sword. Written and illustrated by Frank Miller, this striking issue follows the Ronin and the demon Agat as they clash across time, their journey culminating in a haunting, post-apocalyptic New York. The stark, moody visuals and dynamic storytelling are brought to life by Miller’s signature style, with Lynn Varley’s colors and John Costanza’s lettering adding depth to the journey. The cover, also by Frank Miller, captures the intensity of the confrontation in bold, expressive lines.
In "null," a young samurai becomes a ronin after the death of Lord Ozaki, sworn to protect the lord’s enchanted sword. As he and the demon Agat are drawn across time, their clash unfolds in a haunting, ruined New York where the past and future collide.
In "null," Ronin ventures into the dark underbelly of a ruined city to rescue Casey from cannibalistic humanoid dwellers lurking in the depths. Meanwhile, Peter McKenna uncovers unsettling truths about Taggart’s sudden transformation, unraveling a mystery that threatens to upend everything he thought he knew.
