Samurai Jack (IDW)
Samurai Jack: Lost Worlds
Continue the journey with the wandering samurai as he embarks on adventures far and wide in these four standalone tales.
Under the leadership of the benevolent Samurai Jack, society has prospered-everything is in line with his philosophies, his storied stoicism, and of course his hair. Of course, this is all news to Jack who doesn't much care for this impostor using his name. Then, as Jack travels through lonely mountain roads, he's warned to turn back lest he disturb a haunted village. Of course, Jack's never one to shy from danger. But maybe some things are better left undisturbed. SNAP! That's the sound of a bear trap closing on the leg of Samurai Jack. As Jack tries to get free, hunters descend--but is he the only one they're hunting? In the last story, Jack has traveled to the four corners of the earth and beyond--even seeing the world from space--so his time as a passenger on a vessel sent out to prove the earth's shape should be easy, right? Wrong. Nothing's ever so easy when Jack finds his beliefs shaken to their very core.

After the failure in the main series, I tried this with the hope it would be at least a bit different. It wasn't. I made it 2/3 through, then I gave up, went to sleep and never picked it up again.

I liked the first story the best. It touched some of the themes in the original series and made me feel for the main character... although I don't think it could have actually happened. Pretty sure Jack never had the beard and the sword at the same time.
The rest all felt like one half of a single episode. Incomplete. Ending in cliffhangers never to be resolved. Like that one episode where Jack got eaten by the two-headed snake. When does the magic happen? It won't, Jack, it won't.
Two and a half stars for the whole of it.

Many deep philosophical themes.
Great comic, lovely art. True to the Samurai Jack style I love. Some deep philosophical themes that genuinely make me ponder. I just wish it were longer.
