Synopsis "American Ronin"

War is over, democracy an illusion, real power now lies not with nation-states but huge corporations engaged in a silent war for global domination. Their number one weapon: highly-skilled, technologically-enhanced operatives trained since childhood to pledge their allegiance to the corporate flag. But what happens when one such operative breaks free of his mental chains and decides to bring the whole system down? Can one "Ronin" make a difference?

Peter Milligan (born June 24, 1961) is a British writer known for his work in comics, film, and television

Milligan, born in London, England, began his comic career with short stories for 2000 AD in the early eighties. In 1986, Milligan worked on 2000AD on the title "Bad Company", with artists Brett Ewins and Jim McCarthy. "Bad Company" was a popular future war story and helped Milligan make a name for himself in the comic world

At the same time, Milligan, Ewins, and Brendan McCarthy had been working on the anthology title, Strange Days for Eclipse Comics. Strange Days featured three lines, "Paradax", "Freakwave", and "Johnny Nemo". Milligan, McCarthy, and Ewins produced three issues of this psychedelic comic, it was not a big sales hit, but it gained a small and loyal number of readers. The more conventional strip, "Johnny Nemo", would have its own series, while the stranger "Paradax" had a two-issue series published by Vortex Comics in 1987.
