Mark, I’ve really enjoyed your work on ASM. I plan on picking up the next part of this story, and anything else you do on the title. That said, I totally did not need to see that last panel. Although it certainly gets over the idea that you’re evil for anyone who missed the Irredeemable [...]

Well, except for The Chronicles of Solomon Stone #1, whose greatness really should [...]

Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Samurai 7 vol 1
How is it that, Samurai 7, an adaptation of an adaptation, is surprisingly clear in its story telling and artistic vision? Although I’m not a big fan of pure “action” titles, I can confidently recommend Samurai 7 to those that are.
