Review: Cimarronin: A Samurai in New Spain #1 (Jet City Comics)
No stranger to digital comics thanks to their purchase of Comixology, Amazon’s own imprint, Jet City Comics was launched as their own attempt to gain a market share, which continues with the first issue of Cimarronin: A Samurai in New Spain #1. But can this book continue to help them fly in terms of selling comics, or will it stall during lift off?
Publisher: Jet City Comics/Boom Studios
Writers: Neal Stephenson, Charles C. Mann, Mark Teppo, Ellis Amdur
Artist: Robert Sammelin(art), Kelly Fitzpatrick(colours), Ed Dukeshire(letters)
Price: £1.99 from ComiXology
Cimarronin: A Samurai in New Spain #1 tells the story of Kitazume, a samurai on the verge of committing seppuku for a prior dishonour when he is encountered by his friend Father Luis. Luis has come to him with a request; to investigate who killed a Spanish patrol at a warehouse. However, unknown to Kitazume, Luis’ request requires a lot more of him than to determine the identities of killers as he is subsequently ambushed and placed on a cargo ship bound for Manila. What are the priests plans for the erstwhile robin and in what way do they involve the unknown Manchu linked to the warehouse deaths?
While not groundbreakingly unique compared to some other comics, Cinarronin is, without a doubt, an immensely enjoyable and compelling read from start to finish. The main draw of this is the main characters who, especially the samurai Kitazume, are created with very in depth personalities which are presented in such a way that you can’t help but wonder about their full histories, both separate and shared, prior to this story’s opening. Of course, this doesn’t diminish the books overall plot, which plays out very much like the beginnings of a political thriller with lots of machinations going on and the issue ending with more questions than answers.
Of course, a comic is nothing without art and here it is brought in spades as every panel is terrifically rendered and fantastically detailed, right down to the lines on the samurai’s weathered, battle weary face. In fact, doused with the pale colours, almost every panel feels and looks truly in keeping with the time period portrayed. However, it is the flashback panels which truly astound h ere, with the exquisite use of deep reds and pale Browns depending on the situation being shown, as well as slight deviation in the pencil work to acknowledge the difference, this art team shows it is a force to be reckoned with and elevates Cimarronin in quality tenfold.
That said, the book is not without problems, particularly with the script which is bound to confuse. These include confusion early on during the initial mention of the Manchu and their method of killing soldiers, which came across as very confusing exposition that needed a few reads to fully understand. Then there was Kitazume’s apparent acceptance to certain situations which didn’t seem in keeping with with how the characters had been established prior. Of course, if you can accept these kinds of issues with little worry then they are minor quibble which don’t impede the story as a whole.

[…] Pipedream Comics reviewed the first issue. Their summary: “While not groundbreaking enough to receive full marks, Cimarronin is still a truly outstanding book made from a great script, fantastic art and inhabited by genuinely interesting, three dimensional characters. While it has some flaws in places, these can’t prevent this first installment from being an epic tale which deserves to be read.” […]

Doch Spieler können sich schnell einen Überblick verschaffen,
ob ein Anbieter seriös ist oder nicht und ob sie gewillt sind mit
echtem Geld zu spielen. Vereinzelte Anbieter haben im Laufe der Zeit ihre Aktivitäten eingestellt oder bieten schlichtweg keine Online Casino Echtgeld Spiele mehr
an. Aus deutschen Spielotheken bekannt, vertreibt das Studio unter dem Namen Lionline
Online Casino Spiele mit Echtgeld. Alle Titel wie 40 Thieves, Creatures of the
Night, Mystic Force and Fruits & Wilds 2 könnt
ihr auch sowohl in der Spielothek als auch im Online Casino
um echtes Geld spielen.
Verständlicherweise möchte man nicht jedem Internet-Glücksspielanbieter seine Echtgeld-Überweisungen anvertrauen. Viele Glücksspielanbieter bieten inzwischen diese populäre Zahlungsmethode an. Gerade die deutschen Online-Casino-Besuchern bevorzugen diese Zahlungsart
für ihre Echtgeldeinzahlungen. In einem Online-Casino um echtes Geld spielen heißt auch, innerhalb
der eigenen Möglichkeiten zu bleiben. Das Glücksspiel ist reine Glückssache und mögliche Echtgeldgewinne lassen sich
nicht kontrollieren oder strategisch herbeiführen. Folglich
können auch die potenziellen Echtgeldgewinne hier wesentlich höher ausfallen.
Möchte man bei Online Spielautomaten Echtgeld einsetzen,
sollte man daher immer auf einen Anbieter mit gültiger Lizenz setzen. Das beste Echtgeld Casino verfügt über gültige Lizenzpapiere.
Nutzt man beispielsweise einen Willkommensbonus geschickt,
werden oft bis zu 100% mehr bereitgestellt. Die Praxistests liefern transparente
Einblicke.BonusangeboteMit Boni hat man häufig die Möglichkeit, das
Guthaben für Online Spielautomaten mit Echtgeld
zu erhöhen.

AUSTRAC will determine the scope of the audits for both operations, with casinos
to foot the bill. Auditors will assess whether the casinos are appropriately monitoring customers,
doing risk assessments and ensuring enough oversight of anti-financial crime programs.
Mr Thomas said all businesses with gaming machines needed to take the risk of money laundering seriously.
“AUSTRAC is serious about driving illicit money out of the gambling industry in Australia and making sure businesses that facilitate gambling have strong money-laundering controls,” he said.
Australians lead the world when it comes to gambling.
