Ronin (DC Comics) - Wikipedia

This starts with the demon Agat killing Lord Ozaki. Lord Azaki had an apprentice but now he is a Ronin. Later the Ronin is reincarnated into Billy Challas, a man born limbless with telekinis powers. He has been having dreams about the Ronin. Agat follows the Ronin into the Dystopian New York. The Ronin has sworn to kill Agat because he killed his master, Lord Azaki. In this 6 issue mini series it follows the Ronin as he has to kill Agat. Collected Editions A.I. Is a Crapshoot: What's left of civilized New York is run by an AI computer. It doesn't turn out well.Miller να ξεφεύγει εντελώς από το αμερικανικό στυλ και να μετατρέπει τα panel του σε μια δυναμική μίξη από manga και Γαλλο-Βελγικά comics. Οι σκηνές δράσεις είναι πανέμορφες, εκφραστικότατες και έτοιμες για κάδρο (ειδικά στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο δίνει ρέστα), η μεθοδική χρήση των panel κάνει τα πάντα να ��αίνονται κινηματογραφικά, αλλά θέλω να σταθώ σε μια συγκεκριμένη εικόνα που χρησιμοποιεί συχνά: αυτή της πόλης που έχει κυριευτεί από το τεχνολογικά οικοδόμημα Aquarius. Πανέξυπνο οπτικό storytelling, αφού παρομοιάζει το Aquarius σαν καρκίνο που έχει ρουφήξει όλους τους πόρους και ζωή της Νέας Υόρκης για να επιζήσει το ίδιο. Green, Karen (December 3, 2010).

They made a movie in 1962 called The 300 Spartans, which 5-year-old Frank Miller saw in the theater, and it had a powerful influence on him.

Los Angeles, CA: MRC Media & Info& Penske Media Corporation. Archived from the original on April 29, 2022 . Retrieved April 29, 2022. Ronin is, despite all this, a very good-looking comic. Some of the credit for this goes to DC’s production department and printers (and to Miller for insisting that it be done this way), but a large part goes to the colorist Lynn Varley. On the evidence of Ronin, Varley is, quite simply, the best colorist in American comics. Most other colorists have, when confronted with the full process separations, tried to do the art­ist’s job for him by playing around with modeling and airbrush effects, while ignor­ing the fact that the greatest benefit of the full process is the acquisition is a more varied, and therefore subtler, palette. In 2007, Gianni Nunnari, producer of 300, was slated to produce, and Sylvain White, director of Stomp the Yard, was attached to direct a Ronin film adaptation. [9] Disc-One Final Boss: It's apparent fairly early on that Agat isn't going to be the main villain of the story and that Virgo is the Big Bad. One could even argue that Billy was the final villain. Eternal English: Averted. Ronin is an ancient Japanese samurai in a futuristic America. He doesn't speak a word of English.Miller was widely criticized after the comic’s release for his misinformed and highly offensive portrayal of Muslims, and with good reason: Islam is depicted throughout “Holy Terror” as primitive and archaic, and its followers are treated with undisguised contempt. No distinction is made between Al-Qaeda and the 1.6 billion Muslims living peacefully worldwide -- to Miller, they’re all just maniacal lunatics named Mohammed who scream “Jihad!” a lot before blowing stuff up. That’s not only a profoundly messed-up worldview, but a weak basis for a cohesive and well-developed narrative. No wonder it was so unpopular! Gainax Ending: Virgo is destroyed, possibly damning the entire human race. Casey certainly has little to no protection in the harsh New York environment and then Ronin comes marching through the flames. Not only is the Ronin identity supposed to be dead but Billy's fate certainly seemed sealed as well since he committed seppuku and was left in an exploding building. Not only that, with Virgo gone, who is controlling him? His blank stare at Casey doesn't make things seem any better. The end.

Gavaler, Chris (2017). Superhero Comics. London and New York: Bloomsbury Academic. pp.279–280. ISBN 978-1-4742-2635-6. In October 2012, Joanna Gallardo-Mills, who began working for Miller as an executive coordinator in November 2008, filed suit against Miller in Manhattan for discrimination and "mental anguish", stating that Miller's former girlfriend, Kimberly Cox, created a hostile work environment for Gallardo-Mills in Miller and Cox's Hell's Kitchen living and work space. [100] The story begins with a samurai who is charged with defending his master, Ozaki. However, Ozaki is assassinated in the night by a demon in revenge for stealing the sword of the demon's master, Agat. Ozaki's spirit grants the now- ronin the sword, the only tool capable of slaying the demon lord it had been stolen from. The ronin then goes on a journey to slay the demon, who on his dying breath curses him to the same eternal prison as itself, within the sword. Ronin is a real headscratcher for me. There are things I genuinely like about it; some of the art given Varley's style is beautiful and aspects of the story and themes are interesting and hit my switches. The plot feels like the sort of thing that is better to just roll with than to ask actual deeper questions but that doesn't diminish it for me. But at the same time, the artwork can look real grotty, the characters outside of Casey are forgettable and the ending is a slap in the face. Three stars is what I give it, but that doesn't even convey the confusion I feel about this title.

Writer Denny O'Neil and artist Frank Miller...used their considerable talents in this rare collaboration that teamed two other legends – Dr. Strange and Spider-Man. La historia no está mal aunque se podría contar mucho mejor, al principio va contándose en dos lineas argumentales, una en la edad media japonesa y otra en el futuro, aunque luego descubriremos que tiene truco, el caso es que aunque a menudo Miller abunda en explicaciones reiteradas e innecesarias al final consigue que el conjunto sea confuso.
