Stan Sakai’s ‘Space Usagi’ Is Coming Soon From Dark Horse Comics
by Anton Kromoff
Welcome to the table,
Every time I cover an Usagi book I talk about my favorite TMNT figure from when I was a kid. A figure that traveled near and far with me but has been lost to the trails of time. My editor, through some epic act of kindness and detective work, found one of these Usagi figures complete with all its accessories and sent it to me. Now I feel like this small part of my childhood that was positive has returned to me and gets to hang out on my desk while I work. Just a chill little Usagi hanging out in my space.
Speaking of Space Usagi…
Dark Horse Comics is bringing us Space Usagi! Fans of the legendary swordsman and wanderer Usagi Yojimbo have enjoyed countless tales crafted by the equally legendary comic creator Stan Sakai. Featuring colors by Emi Fujii Space Usagi: Yokai Hunter follows an all-new, full-color adventure for the rabbit ronin.
The tales of Usagi Yojimbo have been told over hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years. Someone in the far future enjoys another classic adventure in the Space Usagi universe with a unique new story. Even in space, there is no shortage of dangers, warring foes, daring deeds, and supernatural horrors to hone the skills of a descendant of 17th-century samurai Miyamoto Usagi.
Space Usagi: Yokai Hunter one-shot will be available in comic shops on October 11, 2023. It includes 32 pages of an entirely new Usagi Yojimbo story. It is available for pre-order now at your local comic shops and will retail for $4.99.
Until next time, check out my new old little dude!
