Five Ronin
Five Ronin is a five-issue series set in feudal Japan, shortly after the battle of Sekigahara, and features five Marvel characters re-imagined as wandering ronin. Although the five are mostly unconnected, their paths do occasionally cross, each being motivated by a grudge against the Daimyo.
