Featuring the classic Usagi story "The Tea Cup". Usagi's rough-mannered friend Gen returns with a new mission: the two must return a priceless tea cup to a merchant for a hefty reward! With thieves on their trail, what happens when two orphans get between Gen and his dreams of a hefty payday?
For those who have never read the classic 80s story, or for those interested in seeing it printed in color, Usagi Yojimbo: Wanderer's Road #5 is worth seeking out. Read Full Review
While Usagi is more of a side character in this story, the focus on Gen makes for an extremely fun read. The rhino has appeared in earlier stories but "The Teacup" finally starts giving readers more insight into the character. Sakai's artwork in combination with Pattinson's colours makes for a cartoonish visual treat that's bound to please fans of the samurai. Meanwhile, the lettering shows more experimentation yet none of it fails to add to the story. Definitely worth reading whether you're a fan of Usagi or just comics in general. Read Full Review
I was wondering where Gen was at in this series. Coming from knowing Usagi only from the TNNT cartoon back in the 2000's , this was fun to see them partner up again like I remember from my childhood. I wish these books had more blood though ...
