Let the wait for issue #2 begin!

It did take me a while to get used to Tom's lettering (I'm so used to seeing Stan's lettering with his art).

I can't wait for issue #2 !!!

Lucky fans,

Aye ya, I couldn't make it to the LCBS yesterday. And today doesn't look any better. Hopefully tomorrow.

Peace, maka

First issue is incredible. Can't wait to read the rest of the series. Beautiful art, Stan, and Lovern K's colors are unreal. Great work.

Hello UYDers,

I am enjoying all the details in the background behind the characters. Excellent art!

One of the details is the presence of dogs in the city scenes (though there is only one pooch in this issue). Shogun Tsunayoshi was nicknamed "The Dog Shogun" because of his edict protecting dogs. Because of that, there were a lot of strays running around Edo. Also, I figured if I couldn't draw tokage lizards in the backgrounds, I might as well draw doggies.

I did a review on cxPulp.

I am reading the first issue. I really like it. I find it to be a little slower than Usagi, but the samurai epic feeling translates nicely in comic form. I am surprised it will only take 5 issues to tell this story; I was excited for a really long running new series that dealt with an actual samurai legend! Either way I am happy to have the first issue and look forward to the rest!!
I know you can’t say Stan, but if the sales are good on 47 Ronin, could there be possibly more Japanese legends and folk tales to be coming out in comic form between Mr. Richardson and you?

I picked up my copy last week and finally sat down to read it. I'm really enjoying the story and art and looking forward to the next issue.

I like Gallennon's idea. I'd love to see Stan do more tales of Japanese legends and folk tales, maybe even starting with the actual Miyamoto Musashi who was part of the influence behind Usagi Yojimbo.

I respect Gallennon's and Maichan's opinions but I disagree strongly! More Japanese's legends means less Usagi Yojimbo. As much as I am enjoying 47 Ronin, I can't wait for the new UY issue. Plus Stan has incorporated Japanese legends into UY stories and characters, right?

Happy North American Thanksgiving to you all. I am thankful for this UY Dojo and all the board friends I have made and enjoyed throughout the years here. I am grateful for the collective joy and fun we have had discussing Usagi, Stan, comics, culture and life events here. You all have enriched the Usagi and my life enjoyment. This has been a great place to hang out because we all understand that part of us that loves Stan's art and storytelling. Have a wonderful day and thank you for giving your thoughts and news on this board.

Peace, maka

You make a good point Maka, and I concede and agree!
I look forward to the return of Usagi, and I'm surethat future stories will incorporate many more Japanese legends and folk lore!

I'd also like to thank everyone here for making this such a great place to share our interest in all things Usagi. I'd been a follower of Usagi & Stan for many years, but it wasn't until I finally joined the Dojo that I felt at home and had some experiences and opportunities that I otherwise never would have had.

Just picked up and read the first issue today. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about stan's non-usagi art, bit I can happily say that not only did I thoroughly enjoy it, but it captured the emotion of the story at hand. Very well done stan. I loved it and look forward to issue #2.
