Following a rabbit ronin in an alternate version of Feudal Japan populated by anthropomorphic animals, the Usagi Yojimbo series boasts some outstanding stories, great characters, truly awesome artwork and intriguing Japanese settings, and is easily one of the best, if somewhat underappreciated, comics out there. Many readers of my blog will be familiar with my own all-consuming love for the brilliant Usagi Yojimbo series by legendary writer and author Stan Sakai. However, it looks like we are getting a reprieve this year as not only did we already get the awesome 36 th volume, Tengu War! but now we have the 37 th volume, Crossroads, coming out in just a few months. For ages, fans of the series have been stuck with the ungodly pain of routinely having to wait an entire year to get a new collected edition of their favourite comic.
I must be doing something right with my life because I have just been rewarded with an absolute treat: two Usagi Yojimbo volumes in a single year. For this latest Waiting on Wednesday I check out another awesome entry in one of my favourite comic series with the upcoming 37 th volume of the always impressive Usagi Yojimbo series, Crossroads, by Stan Sakai. Stay tuned to see reviews of these books when I get a copy of them. I run this segment in conjunction with the Can’t-Wait Wednesday meme that is currently running at Wishful Endings. Welcome to my weekly segment, Waiting on Wednesday, where I look at upcoming books that I am planning to order and review in the next few months and which I think I will really enjoy.
