I haven't read Lone Wolf and Cub, though I keep meaning to. I just looked at it and went 'there's HOW MANY volumes?!'
I have a hard time reading Wolverine's Japanese scenes because part of me is always crying out that the Japan he's in is already dead.
I have the same reaction to his travels in the 'wilds' of Canada. It's just as hard to find a 'real' sweat house, or shaman in Canada, as it is to find a tea ceremony in Japan. And I'm always wondering where the cell phones, wireless connections and CBC Radio have gone to. But I guess that's the whole point of the character - he exists in all these worlds that are already gone. It's like he calls them back into being, by virtue of his sheer manliness. *g*
Of course, this is comics, and it's no fun to write about the fact that there are no ninja clans left
Where would comics be without ninjas? Perish the thought.
