Deciding to go after them, Usagi must head back to the province, and the danger, from which he has just escaped! Then, in “Crossroads,” Usagi and Yukichi come upon a group of pilgrims who have been left for dead by a band of cutthroat ronin. When Kitsune’s protégé is kidnapped in return, Usagi decides that he must help and get her back. In “Ransom,” Usagi and Yukichi meet up with Kitsune, a street performer and thief, who has stolen a ledger recording bribes to local politicians. The rabbit ronin’s newest adventures continue in this fourth volume that sees Usagi and new companion Yukichi on the road! Thinking their troubles behind them, they find new ones constantly emerging. It looks like Sakai has set up some brilliant stories for this next volume, and I am already extremely excited for all of them. This time Usagi and his newly discovered cousin and fellow samurai, Yukichi, will encounter several dangerous enemies, as well as some old friends, as they continue their travels through the dangerous lands of Feudal Japan. Luckily, with Crossroads coming out soon, I do not have that much longer to wait.Ĭrossroads, which will contain issues #22-28 of the current run of the Usagi Yojimbo series, is currently set for release in October 2022 and looks set to feature several fantastic stories.
The other volume of 2022, Tengu War! was also a ton of fun, and was honestly prepared for that to be my primary Usagi Yojimbo fix for the year.
#YOJIMBO HAGGLE FULL#
This latest run, which includes the full colour volumes Bunraku and Other Stories (one of my favourite books of 2020) and Homecoming (one of my favourite books of 2021), has been pretty awesome, and I have deeply appreciated some of the cool storylines Sakai has been following.
#YOJIMBO HAGGLE SERIES#
I have been a major fan of this series for year, and I have been having a very good time with the current run of the comics published by IDW. Following a rabbit ronin in an alternate version of Feudal Japan populated by anthropomorphic animals, the Usagi Yojimbo series boasts some outstanding stories, great characters, truly awesome artwork and intriguing Japanese settings, and is easily one of the best, if somewhat underappreciated, comics out there. Many readers of my blog will be familiar with my own all-consuming love for the brilliant Usagi Yojimbo series by legendary writer and author Stan Sakai. However, it looks like we are getting a reprieve this year as not only did we already get the awesome 36 th volume, Tengu War! but now we have the 37 th volume, Crossroads, coming out in just a few months. For ages, fans of the series have been stuck with the ungodly pain of routinely having to wait an entire year to get a new collected edition of their favourite comic. I must be doing something right with my life because I have just been rewarded with an absolute treat: two Usagi Yojimbo volumes in a single year. For this latest Waiting on Wednesday I check out another awesome entry in one of my favourite comic series with the upcoming 37 th volume of the always impressive Usagi Yojimbo series, Crossroads, by Stan Sakai. Stay tuned to see reviews of these books when I get a copy of them. I run this segment in conjunction with the Can’t-Wait Wednesday meme that is currently running at Wishful Endings.
