This has to be a top 5 out skill in the series. The only one that clearly trumps it is the time Usagi caught that one dudes sword with his sheathe.

Don't temp me like that.

I asked it in /shelf/, but what the hell, I'll repost it here.

Just found out Stan Sakai will be at the con I go to every year. I've had Usagi Yojimbo on my wishlist for a couple years now and I figured this would be the kick in the ass I needed to actually start buying,..
Except now I find out about the move to IDW and the purported re-release of the collections, so I don't know what to do with that. So instead, should I get 47 Ronin?

First go for Usagi Yojimbo: The Special Edition from Fantagraphics, since it'll never be colorised. It contains the first 7 books and has 1160 pages total for 75 bucks. It's the early run and can be rough in places (art especially), but it's still good. Honestly, there is no such thing as a bad Usagi story. Some are "only" solid, some are fantastic, but never bad.
Then if you want to read the stories how they were originally made (mostly in black and white) go fo Dark Horse's Saga books, they are super cheap for what they offer. IDW will not put out their colorised equivalents for a long time, so if you don't feel like waiting and it is not UTMOST IMPORTANT for you to see Usagi in color you can ignore those, at least for now.
But, of course, also buy the upcoming IDW monthly ongoing. One of the things which makes Usagi so amazing is that each issue can be read on it's own and you won't feel like you're missing anything crucial for the plot.

Thanks, man.

>Lord Miyagi is a dummy!
heh

Drawanon that did these last year, could you do Chizu and Tomoe catching Kitsune and making her pay for her crimes?

Beat our boy with on sandal untied behind his back.

Wouldn't they be coldblooded and hibernate in this snow?
This doesn't make logical sense, in this setting of English speaking feudal Japan anthro magical creatures.

Nah if you ever gonna continue this, it should be them about to chase after Kitsune, but then she runs away in fear past them, and after looking confused Jei(f) appears and Tomoe and Chizu both run away from her as well.

I know we've had talk about getting a pic of this year's poll results but could we get a new pic of them just wrestling?

The tokage seem to act more like dogs than lizzards, and since almost all mammals (rip horse #XX) are people, tokage stand in for them.

if they're poisoned, people will suspect someone with strange herbs and liquids
who would think that a frail old man would use a sword?

This. It's quite clever.

Provided they stay in business.

They'll publish it in colors.
pray for his soul

I saw a thread about IDW being up for sale a few hours ago. I hope they don't go under now. That's so depressing, Stan just escaped a dying DH to end up at another dying publisher.

RIP Ueno, he was an good boy.

Up

Where would he even go? Back to Fantagraphics and have the series published in graphic novels instead of floppies?

Bumping

Looking forward to new pics this year!

Usagi seems weirdly sensitive to spirits. That might be part of the reason why the Gods sic Jei on him.
