Good, but not as good as I've come to expect from Miller October 13, 2008
JR Gumby (US)
I think the only real reason that I was underwhelmed by Ronin was the fact that it was Frank Miller. It's an interesting story with engaging artwork, but it didn't grip me like Dark Knight or Sin City. All in all though, it's quite good.
better than his batman September 29, 2008
Logan L. Lindquist (Texas)
I liked this graphic novel much better than Frank Miller's Batman. The story is compelling and interesting mix of different elements. A cyborg samurai set in futuristic world with robots and bio-computers.
 Where samurais, science fiction and genius meet August 7, 2008
Jean E. Pouliot (Newburyport, MA United States)
The best graphic novels pull you into a world that may be bizarre, fanciful or exotic, but completely captivating. Ronin makes that grade easily. Beginning as a medieval samurai tale of blood and honor, the tale fast forwards to the near future, where a female supercomputer and a limbless man with unusual mental powers sit at the nexus of a world of biocircuitry in which machines self-assemble without human intervention. There are evil geniuses, demons, and nasty rbots. There are terrific fight scenes, some of which take place in the minds of the the characters. You won't always know what's going on, and a rereading wll be rewarding. But "Ronin"is a rewarding and highly crafted piece divesion that is well worth the time it taks to read and figure out.
Indelible Imagery. Wonderful plot. My favorite Miller work. January 1, 2008

I still have my well-worn copy of Ronin from the early '80s. It stands today for me, as it did back then, as peerless among comic art. Though it is probably one of the least valuable comics in my whole collection in monetary terms, is the most priceless in terms of overall feel.
Even though I think Sin City and 300 have ported to the screen very successfully, I worry that Ronin won't measure up to those standards. It will take a truly masterful producer and director to pull it off. I sincerely hope that Miller keeps as much creative control as he has on the previous movies. Ronin deserves that.
