About this deal

Although still conforming to traditional comic book styles, Miller infused his first issue of Daredevil with his own film noir style. [48] Miller sketched the roofs of New York in an attempt to give his Daredevil art an authentic feel not commonly seen in superhero comics at the time. One journalist commented: Oh but THEN we have our ~female character~ who has no personality apart from really wanting to do her job. I could get behind this if the story made me care about her. Spoiler: It did not make me care. Any evidence of her drive goes out the window when she sleeps with the ronin, WHO JUST KILLED ALL OF HER SOLDIERS, IN A SEWER AFTER SHE WAS TORTURED FOR DAYS.

Benedict Carver; Dan Cox (21 July 1998). "Aronofsky draws on comic". Variety . Retrieved 12 February 2007. I understand why some people would not find this graphic novel overwhelmingly appealing. To be honest, the art often left me confused about what was supposed to actually be taking place, and character design often seemed to come at the expense of Miller's attempt to create dramatic settings and visuals. There's also, what I can only describe as the "Miller effect" where there is an honest recognition of genius coupled with the realization that the artist you're observing is absolutely insane. In terms of looks alone, Ronin remains a triumph. Miller was so far ahead of the curve that most artists working today are still playing catch-up. Yes, he was a shameless borrower, from Gōseki Kojima, Moebius, José Muñoz, and everyone else who caught his fancy. All these artists exist within Ronin; the end result, however, is something fresh. Miller synthesizes his influences into a style of his own, moving swiftly between different modes of expression throughout the story. There’s a swagger to Ronin, a kind of ‘look at the stuff I can do’ that’s replicated in all aspects of the work. Even John Costanza’s lettering, these big and oft sharped-edged balloons, calls attention to itself. Ronin wants to be noticed. Some influences in the writing stand out. I would venture to say that Miller may have borrowed some Heinlein books from Chris Claremont, although, for all I know, he may never have read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (the computer who has created a visual image for itself on a televi­sion screen) or “Waldo” (the crippled lead character who uses mechanical appen­dages).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. Superstar Writer/Artist Frank Miller Return to Batman!".

McMillan, Graeme (July 11, 2015). "Comic-Con: Will Eisner Comic Industry Award Winners Announced". The Hollywood Reporter. Archived from the original on July 28, 2015. Eternal English: Averted. Ronin is an ancient Japanese samurai in a futuristic America. He doesn't speak a word of English. That other series could be another of FMP’s brand-new creations, Pandora, whose release date is still undetermined. Miller devised the idea for the science-fiction/fantasy hybrid. “Star Trek: Discovery” writers Anthony Maranville and Chris Silvestri will script that series, with Emma Kubert, daughter of comics superstar (and The Dark Knight III: The Master Race artist) Andy Kubert, being the latest member of her esteemed family to handle the artwork on a Frank Miller project. 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!The weight of its influences are many, which can lead to an almost clichéd feel to some of the plot developments, though it’s easy to let these float past as you’re whisked away by the beautiful artwork. Miller uses as much space as he needs to tell the story, whether it’s a dramatic full spread showing off a simple image of a vast cityscape, a fast-paced samurai combat scene with manga’s characteristic speed lines, or a single panel crammed with essential dialogue. There’s plenty of room for all of these to live and breathe, yet barely an inch of space is wasted. Green, Karen (December 3, 2010). "Into the Valley of Death?". ComiXology. Archived from the original on October 20, 2011 . Retrieved November 25, 2011. It's like something out of Hollywood, right? Hollywood thought so, too. 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. 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 McVeigh, Karen (November 14, 2011). "Screenwriter Frank Miller calls Occupy protesters 'thieves and rapists' ". The Guardian . Retrieved February 20, 2012. Miller is also writing and illustrating a western prequel series, called Sin City: 1858. According to DiDio, introducing the Wild West into his noir universe has been on Miller’s to-do list for years.
