Is Usagi Yojimbo switching from an ongoing series to a string-of-mini-series release schedule? Solicit doesn’t say one way or the other. The ongoing series has kinda hit a patch of variation over the last year, but I optimistically look forward to many, many more issues on any schedule. UY is one of the consistently best comic series out there. “On his way to see Inspector Ishida, Usagi is confronted by Shogunate guards…a sign of the times. While unraveling a pair of murders in town later, Usagi and Ishida become wary as they find the corpses stripped of all identification-except for a talisman that leads to a startling discovery.

And, let’s be honest, the world needs him now more than ever. Taking a brief respite from battling an otherworldly evil, Bruce Lee attempts to navigate modern-day Southern California despite still suffering from amnesia and having been ‘out of the loop’ for over 45 years. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a simple ‘lunch run’ soon turns into a comedy of errors involving mistaken identity, a Film Festival,’ and the pokey.
