This is a great collection of stories. There were some great ideas in here and there was also a good mix of comedy and action. Best of all, I think these comics were a perfect continuation of the Samurai Jack show. If you are a fan of Samurai Jack, I would definitely recommend this book.

This was AMAZING! I'm such a huge fan of this character. I love Samurai Jack! The show and this comic collection are so good. I giggled and awed all the way through. Hands down my favorite comic ❤🖤

I really enjoyed this book. As much as we have stories of questionable canon status (not that this is important), the story structure totally fits with the largely episodic narrative style of the original animated series.
This book compiles two major arcs across limited series - one involving rope fragments that when gathered may help Jack finally return home to his time. Another involving a surprising incident when Jack's magic sword is somehow broken. These stories plus many other shorter arcs or one-off adventures all come together to create a nice compilation of adventures worthy of our time-displaced warrior.
The art is totally in tune with the show, down to the largely dramatic style of the cartoon. There are great panels that follow how the show embraced silent action and used it effectively to build tension or to demonstrate Jack's unique way of approaching possible dangers and challenges.
A solid Samurai Jack compilation indeed.

I had no idea there ever was Samurai Jack comics until I saw this on sale on comixology. As a huge fan of the cartoon I picked this up and am I ever glad I did. The stories and art feel right at home in the world of the cartoon and seamlessly fit into the established timeline of the show. If you are a fan, this is a must read.

Good book overall. Short stories felt just like the show, great art throughout. I do wish there was more of an option epic longer overarching storyline (than the portions with multiple parts), could’ve had more depth. Ended on a great note
