Anyone know where the title comes from? Though the story is completely different.

Akira Kurosawa's Tora no o wo fumu otokotachi (1945)
The story of the lord Yoshitsune and a small group of samurai who attempt to cross enemy territory disguised as monks and try to persuade border guards to let them through.

aka - Those who Tread upon the Tiger's Tail

looking at the story synopsis I just fell into rereading the 'what's in store for usagi?'-future usagi stories...there are some very wonderful ideas and I hope they see production and publication one day....

Color cover for 137 is up! WOW

I thumbnailed UY 136 on the way to Atlanta, and wrote 137 on the return flight. The story just could not fit into two issues, so Scorpion's Tail will be three issues long, finishing up in UY 138.

@marcel and others interested:

Yesterday it was possible to place the order for the Variant Cover for DHC 25th at my comic-dealer in Berlin. (up to this point it was to early they said)

Though it's not included in the regular abonnement of USAGI, better hurry marcel, to be on the safe side, if you are interested in the variant, too.

greetings,
Jens

Just curious: Which dealer do you frequent?
