Aquarius's ward, Billy Challas, was born without any limbs due to a genetic defect and has telekinetic powers. Virgo works with him to develop his psionic abilities and Billy tests cutting-edge prosthetic limbs for Aquarius. Billy has been having vivid dreams of the story of Ozaki, the ronin, and Agat. Billy and Virgo are confused by the detail and historical accuracy of the dream since his education had never covered feudal Japan.

Frank Miller Presents: Why the Acclaimed Comic Book - IGN

El dibujo es horrendo, con una estética desgarbada y deforme en los personajes que se podría tolerar y tomar como marca de la casa, pero lo que no tiene excusa son los fondos y elementos del decorado, sobretodo lo que supuestamente son elementos tecnológicos y circuitos electrónicos, que dan verdadera vergüenza, se nota en el contraste con otras obras suyas que Miller planea muy bien la composición de página y es muy efectivo a la hora de narrar con un estilo cinematográfico, pero que necesita como el pan un buen entintador que le enmiende el trabajo, ni siquiera la inteligente aplicación del color de Lynn Varley le salva en esta ocasión... Overall, the comic is great. The action parts are very enjoyable, but most of the time it's filled with endless philosophical dialogue about ethics and sci-fi things. That might sound boring, but it most certainly isn't. It's a really thought provoking comic that you can't "just" read. To truly understand "Ronin" you need to devote some time thinking about it's complex ideas and messages. Frank Miller interviewed by Joel Meadows, Studio Space: The World's Greatest Comic Illustrators At Work (Image Comics, 2008), p. 189. ISBN 978-1-58240-908-5.The story of Ronin is divided between two periods and locations: old Japan and future America. In the past, a nameless samurai fails to save his master from an evil demon and must make amends by dedicating his remaining life as a Ronin to hunt the demon down. In the future, the Aquarius corporation develops new technologies with the aid of super-computer Virgo, and Billy Challas, a young man born without limbs, but with tremendous psychic powers.

Miller's mixing of Muslims and Arabs – the book never differentiates – with terrorists highlights Holy Terror's unflattering portrayal of Muslims. What kind of fallacy is it, when you assume something is all but forgotten, just because you've all but forgotten it yourself?

The Honest Alan Moore Interview". 2011 . Retrieved April 26, 2013. [The Occupy movement] is a completely justified howl of moral outrage and it seems to be handled in a very intelligent, non-violent way, which is probably another reason why Frank Miller would be less than pleased with it. I'm sure if it had been a bunch of young, sociopathic vigilantes with Batman make-up on their faces, he'd be more in favour of it. The characters we focus on are okay for the most part, but the focus is primarily on Casey, with the rest being given barebones characterisation or barely anything at all, although in some cases, there is a justified reason for it in-story, which I deal with later. Nevertheless it can make the universe of Ronin feel a bit hollow and bland. It also doesn't help that the characters outside of the main cast fit the mold of every sci-fi type we've seen since. Mutants, raiders, gangs, nazis, cannibals, robots, corporate suits etc. Hell we've even got a hippy in the mix. Maybe at the time these were a little more novel, but nowadays they come across as a little quaint. Yarbrough, Beau (March 18, 1999). "Evan Dorkin Debuts World's Funnest". Comic Book Resources.

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. Frank's writing in this is amazing. He creates many, very unique characters and he makes them all talk in a kind of different way from one another. The story is captivating and filled with plot twists that are able to blow everyone's mind. A specific part of the story that I liked is the marriage between the main guard of the corporation and the main scientist. It's shown very well how they have marriage problems, mostly due to their work and how through the years they've lost the affection they had for one another.

From Bad to Worse: It says something when the main characters start off in an apocalyptic setting... and it gets worse from there. The artwork in the comic is done by Frank himself. I really love Frank's artwork and while I don't think that here it's at it's best, I think it's really great. Frank uses a LOT of cross-hatching and while in general, I don't always love it, I think that it works very well here and it makes things look very detailed. Also, the action is very well drawn (and written), which is great, because it makes it very enjoyable. Frank Miller does an amazing job with panel layouts in this comic and also, he does an even better job at "directing" everything within the panels. Frank's great "directing" abilities are really apparent here. Almost all of the panels look very cinematic in such a way that it makes me immediately think how the comic would look if I made it into a film. The coloring in this comic is done by Lynn Varley, who does a great job. Her coloring really elevates the artwork and it's beautiful in every single panel. Another great thing in this comic is the lettering. It's very good, because it really fits perfectly with the style of Frank Miller's artwork. McMillan, Graeme (July 11, 2015).
