Howdy,

If your local comic shop carries Dark Horse comics, they'll probably carry the 25-cent book. If they don't normally carry Dark Horse comics, you can get them to pre-order this issue for you next month.

Anybody need a new TMNT Usagi Yojimbo figure?

Howdy, If you browse the general forum, you may have seen my new Usagi toy guarding my TPBs. I lucked out and managed to land Usagi 2 figures in the same Target run, so I figured I'd ask here to see if anybody was still looking for one. The card is a tiny bit bent on the edges, but the bubble is unc...

Big Usagi Week (a.k.a., They're MINE at last!)

Howdy, I'm having one of those odd synchronicity moments. Within the past month, I've managed to grab the rest of the Usagi Yojimbo TPBs that I was missing, except for the new Vol. 2 which I had pre-ordered. The same week I finally get my Usagi Vol. 2 to complete the collection happens to be the sam...

Howdy, Darn, I missed this last week... I went on Saturday and had a terrific time, adding a bunch of signatures to assorted works in the collection. As usual, I was completely tongue-tied when faced with the people I was looking forward to getting signatures for the most (Paul Chadwick and Charles ...

Howdy, Master Katsuichi also knows the truth about who knows what, but he didn't say anything to Jotaro at the end of the "Fathers and Sons" TPB either. If Lady Mariko is to receive any condemnation for making Usagi and/or Jotaro suffer, then Master Katsuichi should be the recipient of an ...

Howdy, I started with volume 17. Then again, I have never been accused of doing things the easy way :D . The experience showed me that, despite popular wisdom to the contrary, continuity is not an obstacle to getting into a comic book series. If the story is cool enough and done well enough, you don...

If Dark Horse made Usagi boxer shorts, I would have to buy them on general principle.

Howdy, At some point in grad school (this would be 1992-1993), I remember seeing Sergio in some sitcom my roommate was watching, along with a bunch of other comics pros. I was walking through the TV room when he says to me, "Hey, Ed, there's some comic book guys on this show. Do you know any of...

Howdy, I believe the first RPG was Dungeons and Dragons back in the early 70's. I can honsetly say that Im rather shocked that there are people out there that didnt know that the computer game RPGs are based off of the pen and paper rpgs. In the immortal words of Frank Miller: "Kids these days....

Howdy, Mark me down as generally against variant or multiple covers on comic books. I am decidedly not a fan of the practice, and I think they end up hurting far more than they please dedicated fans. I buy comic books to read, and while I really appreciate a good cover, I just want to read the book....
