review 1: A short story about 5 samurais in the character of Wolverine, Hulk, Punisher, Psylocke and Deadpool.Not an impressive read but the graphics are good. Mere confusion involved by the change of illustrators though.It would have been better if the stories are seamless with each other rather than short entries about the 5 characters with minor link.Otherwise, the story has unexplored potential.
review 2: Very neat idea of transporting 5 of the more iconic Marvel heroes to medieval Japan and re-casting them as masterless samurai, or ronin (although the Psylocke character is a prostitute/concubine). Each issue follows a different character--Wolverine, the Hulk, the Punisher, Psylocke, and Deadpool--as they all move toward a common goal of killing the current local gov... moreernor who's responsible in some way for their common misery. The characters come and go in the background of each others' stories, and it might have been nice to have them all team up, but this was still very satisfying. Also neat was having each issue drawn by a different artist. less
