"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

Taitei no Ken – La spada dell’imperatore

20120212-111903.jpg

Mi hanno giustamente fatto notare che, se avete adorato Cowboy contro Alieni e trivate profondamente offensiva la mia recensione, questo è il fumetto che fa per voi! Tratto dai romanzi di Baku Yumemakura, Taiten no Ken è un’appassionante storia di ninja contro alieni, alla ricerca di armi forgiate in un mitico metallo chiamato oricalco (consideratevi fortunati che almeno sia un metallo, dopo i lingotti d’ebano di Skyrim). Il fumetto è disegnato da un signore chiamato Dohe che decisamente ci sa fare, ed è solo uno dei tanti adattamenti di queste opere: gli appassionati possono sbizzarrirsi anche con un orribile (e coloratissimamente kitsch) film del 2007, dallo stesso regista che ci ha regalato perle come Mongolian Chop Squad (dal manga BECK) o come i film tv di 20th Century Boys.
