5 Ronin

In this 2011 Marvel one-shot, five iconic heroes are reimagined as wandering ronin in feudal Japan, each illustrated by John Cassaday. The issue presents distinct, self-contained tales that strip familiar characters of their superhuman trappings, grounding them in a world of honor, violence, and swords. It's a striking, standalone experiment in genre fusion from one of the industry's most acclaimed artists.
