Is this a bunch of different one-shots? I'd like to pick up the Punisher one if it's a stand alone story. but I don't think I'm too interested in a 5 issue mini.

Oh mah lord, this is the first Wolverine comic I've ever found appealing...and I haven't even seen the dialogue yet...the penciller's work is truly amazing though, that's for sure...is he drawing the entire series? I would love to see him drawing Psylocke's issue...

If one of the Ronin doesn't try to commit ritual suicide with the bamboo sliver they used as a blade after selling the original steel, I'll be sorely disappointed. I want a slow and agonizing honorable death!
That said, I'm all over this.I know Kevin Nichols through a guy that knows a gal. Small world!
If nihilism didn't take some delight in destruction one might suspect nihilists were an unnaturally morbid sort.

Tomm Coker is an amazing artist. I first saw his work on an issue of Moon Knight, and I've been looking out for his stuff ever since. I think this is going to be good.

Wolverine, japan, jada jada jada... zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Nothing against Wolverine but after all these years and issues with him, wasting artwork and coloring like this on overused characters is like throwing pearls to the pigs.
Well what ever it's not like complaining will change much. But i'm curious at what or better who the other 4 issues will be about.

I quasi agree with this. As much as i love feudal japan, wolverine, samurai and such its getting a bit overplayed. Originally Posted by Grunty

Though i have this urge to read a Ronin Hulk"I'm bad and that's good, I will never be good and that's not bad, because there's no one I rather be than me."

He's an awesome artist that doesn't do a lot of interior artwork. His early stuff was really good but not as realistic as his current work. Originally Posted by Just Another Mod
