I wanted to like this. The concept is fantastic. What would a true samurai do if thrust into the future on a solemn quest? The answer is much less satisfying then I hoped. ( )

Good enough for an afternoon read... ( )

I have not read this book in years, but I recall enjoying it back in the day when it was released. I've enjoyed reading Frank Miller's work over the years and this was enjoyable enough and interesting to boot. ( )

Here we see some of the evolution of Frank Miller's style.

A samurai demon fighter is reborn into the far future, at least as far as we are concerned. It is also the future as far as the modern reader knows, too.

The conflict is fated to happen again, but will the outcome be different?
