Ronin (Ronin #1-6)
A timeless classic for Miller and action fans everywhere. Just darn good!
A classic, years ahead of its time. Surprisingly dense, but still a little lighter than Neuromancer. I can't say anything that has not yet been said about Frank Miller's brilliant work - other than sometimes the opposite of collaboration can yield incredible results. He wrote, drew and colored this entire work - and the results are incredible.

As much as I shame Frank Miller for his descent into hate speech these last few years, you have to give credit where it's due. Rōnin was considered one of the most influential comics of the 80s, and rightly so.A samurai revenge epic in a sci-fi setting, Rōnin plays with expectations in fun, exciting ways. Although plagued by lazy clichés in a few spots and by several of Miller's characteristically "is this offensive?" racial/gender characterizations (spoiler: it always is) - and although the
Meticulously conceived and executed, beautifully coloured and produced (for its time), ambitious, bold, energetic, pop-culture obsessed (manga, Moebius, 2001: A Space Odyssey, etc.), shallow, derivative, humorless, clumsy, self-righteous, pompous. Historically significant in terms of comic-book marketing (genre diversity, older target audience, artsy ambitions, more creative control, higher production values), but not the masterpiece it was made out to be when originally published back in 1983.
