Frank Miller's RONIN

I just wrote about Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" a couples of articles back and now its Ronin. I'm not selling Frank Miller but its just I wanted to write about. Frank Miller revolutionized the comic industry with his revolutionary stories and art. Miller is just a genre maker. Ronin helped Miller to get achieve his place as a talented story teller.
Miller twists his imagination as much as he can but without forgetting that it is a comics he is writing. Ronin is much of a twists and bends, sharp ones. Ronin's main inspiration was the original Japanese story "The lone wolf and the cub". But Miller gave it its own taste. The whole story of Ronin is based upon a unnamed masterless samurai trying to avenge his master's death by a shape-shifting demon called "Agat". By some magic they are delivered to a post 800 year futuristic dyspotic lawless New York city ravaged by the remaining of may be WW III. The wasteland of New York is resided by squatters, factions, and mutants. Miller surely knows how to develop the environment. Aquarius complex is in the heart of the city. An idealized company develop to save the world from the war. The people in Aquarius have developed Biocircuitry which is a new model of plastics-based electronics, capable of self-organization and self-repair under the direction of Virgo, the artificial intelligence at the heart of the Aquarius Complex . Ronin finds himself in the body of a limbless man called "Billy", the ward of Aquarius with telekinetic powers. Agat successes to kill a founding member of Aquarius and take his form. Casey McKenna a founding member of Aquarius, security chief of Aquarius and wife of the biocircuitry inventor Peter Mckenna, another protagonist of the story who in the end kills Agat. It's matter of time before people at Aquarius realize that Virgo has been trying to take the sole control over the aquarius. There are lots of up and down through the story. All that will keep you in the edge of your seat. The story is hell of a ride Miller and Lynn Varley's combination are great. If you haven't gone through it then this article here is not even one percent of the series. Read it for yourself.
