The rabbit ronin arrives at an isolated temple and is surprised to find none other than the virtuous Inspector Ishida, investigating a brutal murder! Their only clue is a mysterious, massive, and potentially sentient painting depicting the torments of Hell. Legend has it that this, the hell Screen, will seek vengeance on any who displease it! What will happen when Usagi and Inspector Ishida attempt to solve the murder?
A murder mystery with political and supernatural overtones. What's not to like? Highest possible recommendation. Read Full Review
The Hell Screen is an interesting piece of the story. Is it simply a red herring, to throw suspicion off those who want the temple's lands for themselves. Or does the graphic depiction, said to seek vengeance on those who offend it, have some supernatural tie to the deaths? Worth a look. Read Full Review
Usagi Yojimbo #155 is a solid issue with great dialog, characters, and art. Its new reader friendly, as its only the first part of a three-part story. The only drawback would have to be the murder mystery plot. Its been done so many times over the years, but I want to see if this mystery pays off in the end. Ill definitely be reading the next two parts of the story, to see if everything falls into place. Read Full Review
