Last, I hadn't read any of The Dark Tower books when the series first started. But now that I have, the parallels really stand out to me. Far-Post Apocalypse, Wandering Stoic Warrior with Magic Weapon, Omnipresent but Nebulous Goal; it's all archetypal, monomyth stuff, but I really dig it.

You should check out frank miller's "Ronin".

Didn't Tartakovsky say that Ronin was one of the inspirations for Samurai Jack? Even outside that, I feel like there's a bit of Miller's influence in the art style of the show.

It's been a very long time since I read Ronin, but I'm pretty sure it involves a samurai being flung into the future by an evil demon who kills his master.

Jesus, read the stickied thread.

Edit: just in case you're lazy.
