This issue is the first published by IDW, after Stan Sakai stopped working for Dark Horse.

I forgot that The Hidden was the final Dark Horse arc

If you've been reading the whole storytime, some of the pages may feel redundant or have too much exposition. It's intended.

In order not to scare new readers, IDW run can be read standalone without having to read issues published by previous houses.

This means that sometimes characters explain their backstory even though they wouldn't need to do that.

While I prefer black and white issues, the colouring is perfect for energy blasts. Normally they would add clatter, but here the firebreath and ice wind are nice and easy to tell apart.

>I forgot that The Hidden was the final Dark Horse arc
Weird thing is that when they started The Hidden, they clearly planned to work together more. You don't change the numbering of the issues just for the last story arc.
Does anyone know what had changed for them to split?

Wow, Stan, you really let your style go in your elder age.

Holy smokes, is every job in Nippon so strangled by hierarchies? Ten years of life wasted just for the "honour" of animating a different part of the puppet.

Now, can Sasuke read minds or is he peering into the 4th wall and reading the thought bubbles?

Poor Sasuke needs to talk to his union about the lack of proper rest time in his job.

I'm not going to bother posting the credits page again as it's the same as the previous one.

Rare example of when the use of gradient is acceptable.

Oh NO!

This situation is actually really scary, imagine walking alone in the night to then be attacked for what it looks like midgets with swords.

Sasuke probably has to pee in water bottles.

Not sure what happened between Stan and IDW maybe they offered a better deal?

>Sasuke, it's time for your 3AM quelling
>Yes lord Shoki

the first panel in the middle is a great reaction.

I kinda want to see Rodriguez-san in colour.

Is a puppet puppeteering giant puppets puppeteering small puppets.

That is impressive.

>Ten years of life wasted just for the "honour" of animating a different part of the puppet.
This is why the old masters at their art are so respected.

That is amazingly stupid, 20 years to be able to use the puppet.

When Sasuke made a ball of light in the black and white Dark Horse run it just looked better. The dark-light contrast was more visible. :-(

Not stopping, let's go with the third and final part of the Bunraku story.

I skipped the credits page again. If you don't like it, go complai to siogun.

>I thought it was just a dream
Of all the supernatural onryo and things you've seen? This is called denial, Usagi.

>you are a low level demon queller
You think the same as Takagi, user.

Why did Stan leave Dark Horse? Did he get tired of them asking for a crossover with Alien and Predator?

Another spread.

Have we ever done a count for those?

You could as well count women or children.
