Written by Frank Miller
Art and cover by Frank Miller
RONIN, the acclaimed epic by Frank Miller, visionary writer/artist of THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, 300 and Sin City and director of the upcoming movie adaptation of The Spirit, is collected for the first time in hardcover in DC’s oversized, slipcased Absolute format! In this tale, the legendary warrior known only as the Ronin — a disgraced 13th century samurai, is given a second chance to avenge his master’s death and regain his honor. Reborn in a futuristic and corrupt 21st century New York City, the Ronin must defeat the reincarnation of his master’s killer, the ancient demon Agat.
This breathtaking Absolute Edition includes rarely seen promotional art, fold-out pages and more special features.

i just wanted to make sure i pointed this out to people. this book rules. get it.

I just want to check: Is Zig the only person around here with $100 to blow on one comic book? Just curious.

please. like anyone pays retail value for anything anymore. amazon, ebay, buying used. retail is for suckers. plus i pay for my books with man hours at the shop, not with money.

besides, i don't care if you get the absolute edition or a standard trade (if you can find one). i just think everyone should read this book. this is my favorite frank miller story.

[Batman]

On this we agree.

This book rules. Steal it!

B-but that's dishonest.

No, you can't look at the contents of those flash drives over there.

DC's absolute collections are all gorgeous. The Sandman slipcover one was sitting out once when I was at my shop, I don't know that it's worth $100, but I don't know that it's not either.

I got the Absolute New Frontier last year and it's gorgeus. When you have trouble lifting a comic, you know your fandom has gone a little too far.

i've got almost all the absolutes. sandman vol 1 and 2, new frontier, dark night, long halloween, watchmen. and the JLA/avengers slipcase, which isn't technically an absolute but it's done in the same format so i count it. the only absolutes that i'm missing (that i want. there's some wildstorm absolutes i don't care about) are LoEG and crisis on infinite earths.

i love absolute editions. i love marvel omnibuses. expensive hardcover comics are the best!
