‘Space Usagi: Yokai Hunter’ Variant Collectors Will Be Covered!
by Anton Kromoff
Welcome to the table,
If you have been following along, you all know my love for everyone’s favorite rabbit ronin, Usagi Yojimbo. Well, on October 11, 2023, the Space Usagi: Yokai Hunter one-shot comic will arrive wherever comics are sold. I assume still in local comic shops and newsstands. If I am wrong, please let me know.
In this special new issue, Stan Sakai and team return to the fan-favorite Space Usagi series with a unique story. Along with writing, art, and lettering by Sakai, this one-shot also features colors by Emi Fujii. Of the standard orderable variants of this issue, the main (cover A) cover art is by Sakai, with a variant cover (cover B) by Agnes Garabowska and one additional 1:10 incentive variant cover (cover C) by Peach Momoko. All three of these covers will be widely available wherever comics are sold and you visit comicshoplocator.com to find comic shops near you.
But wait! There’s More!!
To celebrate the return of the space adventures of Usagi Yojimbo, a number of comics retailers are offering their own special variant cover editions of this comic. Fans can choose from a variety of exclusive variant covers by a host of top artistic talent.
The exclusive variants also tease a brand new character joining the Usagi Yojimbo family: Akemi! Who is Akemi, and how does she fit into the legacy of Miyamoto Usagi? Discover the truth when you pick up your copy of Space Usagi: Yokai Hunter. Each of these variants is available only through the retailers listed. You can contact the respective retailers to pre-order these exclusive variant covers while supplies last!
Until next time, I love this sword-wielding rabbit and hopefully, with some news I got from ToyFair this year I will have more to report very very soon!
