Usagi restarts its numbering and maintains its outstanding storytelling and visuals. This is the perfect issue to jump in on if you haven't read this character's exploits. Plus, having it be a mystery that's not fully explained to the reader is a solid way to guarantee returning readers. And having the book in color is a treat for those who've been long time followers. This is a book that should be on everyone's pull list. Read Full Review

Usagi Yojimbo #1 functions as a piece of art as well as a commentary on art and storytelling as Sakai's own storytelling operates on multiple levels. And instead of getting too lost or involved in anyone of those levels, Sakai tells a fun story about the dangers that haunt feudal Japan that only its samurais can defeat. Read Full Review

Although a very established franchise, evident from the references to previous books, this never feels like it holds any barriers for newcomers. It places the reader in a convincing world, anthropomorphism notwithstanding, and even if you dont care about the underlying themes, its a great read working on a number of layers. If this is the standard going forward, consider me a convert. Read Full Review
