Ronin tome 6: Assaut

Front and center, America! Here comes action! Here comes adventure! Here comes The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot—a roller-coaster ride through the minds of Geof Darrow and Frank Miller, the tag team that set you reeling with their hard-hitting series Hard Boiled! Everything you remember about being eight years old and watching monster movies is right here, but with all the magnified detail that you always wanted to see.

Big Guy

Absolute Dark Knight

An emperor amasses an army of hundreds of thousands, drawn from two continents, to invade a third continent and conquer a tiny, divided nation. Only a few hundred warriors stand against them. Yet the tiny nation is saved. It sounds like the plot of a preposterous fantasy novel. It is historical fact. In 481-480 B.C., King Xerxes of Persia raised forces in Asia and Africa and invaded Greece with an army so huge that it "drank rivers dry." Then they entered the mountain pass of Thermopylae and encountered 300 determined soldiers from Sparta.... Writer-artist Frank Miller and colorist Lynn Varley retell the battle of Thermopylae in the exciting and moving graphic novel 300. They focus on King Leonidas, the young foot soldier Stelios, and the storyteller Dilios to highlight the Spartans' awe-inspiring toughness and valor. Miller and Varley's art is terrific, as always; the combat scenes are especially powerful. And Miller's writing is his best in years. Read it. Do not, however, read 300 expecting a strictly accurate history. The Phocians did not "scatter," as Miller describes. His Spartans are mildly homophobic, which is goofy in such a gay society. Miller doesn't say how many Greeks remained for the climactic battle--you'd think 300 Spartans and maybe a dozen others, when there were between 700 and 1,100 Greeks. Herodotus's Histories does not identify the traitor Ephialtes as ugly and hunchbacked, or even as Spartan. 300 establishes a believable connection between Ephialtes's affliction and behavior, but his monstrous appearance, King Xerxes's effeminacy, and the Persians' inexplicable pierced-GenX-African looks make for an eyebrow-raising choice of villain imagery. Nonetheless, 300 is a brilliant dramatization. For the full story of the failed invasion, read Herodotus's Histories or, for a concise, graphic-novel retelling, Larry Gonick's great Cartoon History of the Universe: Volumes 1-7, From the Big Bang to Alexander the Great. For a lighthearted look at post-invasion Athens and a very young Alexander the Great, check out William Messner-Loebs and Sam Kieth's witty and gorgeous graphic novels, Epicurus the Sage Vol. I and Vol. II. --Cynthia Ward

La vision originale de Frank MILLER pour l'ultime chapitre de la saga Robocop est enfin revelee ! OCP, le cartel industriel luciferien au capitalisme exacerbe, proprietaire de Detroit, a debute la demolition de la vieille ville pour faire place a son utopie urbaine totalitaire. Se bornant a appliquer sa directive prioritaire proteger l'innocent, Robocop prend parti pour les milliers de pauvres expulses de chez eux par l'impitoyable milice privee de l'OCP. Adapte pour la bande dessinee par Steven GRANT, le scenario que l'auteur de Sin City destinait au film Robocop 3 prend vie sous les crayons de Korkut OZTEKIN. Les illustrations additionnelles profitent de l'esthetisme vieille ecole de Declan SHALVEY. Respectueux du materiel original, represente dans son integralite, sans censure ni remaniements trahissant les intentions de l'auteur, ce recit furieux rend justice aux premiers films en leur offrant la conclusion qu'ils meritaient."
