I spotted one quick error, maybe when you did some editing? Albedo Anthropomorphics #3 (Lone Rabbit & Child part 1) is listed as Albedo Anthropomorphics #2

Good eye, went ahead a fixed it. Thanks for the help.

I am now fully caught up with all things Usagi Yojimbo. I managed to read everything except Mayuni and Refuge both from older Sketchbooks that are proving quite hard to track down.

I have made a few updates to the spreadsheet:

1. I finished the entering all the chapter information. I had to take some liberties here because Stan isn't the most consistent with these. Some times they are parts, sometimes chapters. Sometimes the part/chapter number is written as a numeral (1) other times it is written out (one). Often times the first chapter/part is not labeled as such. If a second chapter/part was labeled but the first part/chapter wasn't I went ahead and named the first part/chapter to match the latter ones in the spreadsheet. If a story had both numerals and written out chapters/parts I went with the majority (and made judgment calls when majority did not exist). In one case the first part was labeled as such but then the second part was never titled (the page numbers did restart though) so I choose not to label either part.
2. I put all the Space Usagi stories in an orange font.
3. I put all the Chibi Usagi stories in a purple font.
4. Due to the "geography" of the spreadsheet sometimes a publication has to appear twice or more. Another way to say this is that it is "broken up". The easiest example of this to see is Usagi Yojimbo: Origins Vol. 1 which exists as 3 separate cells (all quite near each other near the top of the spreadshhet). To mark when I have had to do this I have put the publication in a blue font. This has worked well except in the case of the Usagi Yojimbo Dojo 20th Anniversary Special which has now become hard-ish to read and may necessitate a background color change.
5. I found a story that I had left off. The Chibi Usagi story from Usagi Yojimbo Color Classics #1, Funhouse.

Information from the new solicitations on the Previews website have been included. The inclusion on Lone Rabbit and and Child in Usagi Yojimbo Color Classics #7 forced me to add a fourth column to the single Issues section.

sorry if this is already included. i know you list when there is a variant cover.

do you have the following in the spreadsheet as well? don't think it's noted when i click on the appropriate box listing:

usagi yojimbo vol 1 # 1 second print
usagi yojimbo vol 1 # 10 second print

usagi yojimbo vol 1 # 10 second print

I don't note multiple printings unless it leads to change in the cover/interior art.

I know #10 got an extra blurb added to the cover with the second printing so I added that but as far as I know #1's cover is the same regardless of print run.

Some minor changes to the document in the last few months:

1. Continued to keep up with releases to both Usagi Yojimbo Vol. 4 (IDW) and Usagi Yojimbo Color Classics
2. After a number of questions on facebook about the TMNT crossover stories I decided highlight them by putting the story titles in a green font
3. Added a note about the variant cover to Vol. 4 Issue 10 being relased as part of IDWs ComicCon@Home initiative.

As always the document can be found here (or linked to from my signature): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

Awesome job! Thank you for your diligence in maintaining the spreadsheet!

Somehow "table maintenance" has become my biggest contribution to the online fandoms I participate in, lol. [Usagi, Hellboy, AEW, etc.]

I think I have included the gluttony of variant covers we have gotten in the past month. I would appreciate anyone willing to check the notes attached to the issues to make sure I haven't missed any.

A few updates pertaining to The Complete Usagi Story Spreadsheet.

• Double checked all my variant cover counts (see individual cell notes) for all IDW books against the UY Wiki. Updated a few.
• Added an "Intentional Omissions" page to the sheet. This is mostly for my own sanity so that I don't re-investigate comics/stories. In addition to the comic/story I also list the reason it isn't included. Ostensibly, other might find it helpful as well although it's intention is not he be an exhaustive list of pin-ups/covers/cameos but rather a place I add things after I investigate them and decide not to include them.
• Discovered that I was missing a "gag" comic from one of the SDCC Souvenir Books, Death of Gen. I already included Groo vs. Usagi: Who Would Win and Usagi Yojimbo Meets Godzilla so I should have all of them now.
• Thinking about the Usagi story/ad that appeared in Uncle Jam/Command Review/Zell Sworddance/etc. in light of the other "gag" stories included in the spread sheet (mention in the previous bullet), I have reversed my decision and have now included it. In that same liked to thread Stan said that he believe it is included in one of the UY Sketchbooks but didn't state which one. If anyone knows I would appreciate if you would share the info.
• I am now considering denoting these non-canonical/"gag" stories in some way. It unfortunately can't be a font color as was my first instinct since Usagi Yojimbo Meets Godzilla is already in red to mark it as one of the five uncollected UY stories. I guess I could do a border color but so far I have kept border colors out of the Story column and I would prefer to maintain that. I am toying with the idea of using a footnote-esque symbol, something like †, but I haven't settled on that. Want to consider it more before implementing it. Open to suggestions.

I know I said the "Intentional Omissions" page wasn't supposed to be exhaustive but I went ahead a combed over both Steve and David's lists and think that it might be now (or close to it). It lists every printed Usagi appearance drawn by Stan that isn't a story and any cameos he has made in other peoples stories that I am aware of.

More updates to the Usagi Yojimbo Story Spreadsheet:

• The diamond preview for UY V4 #17 states that it is part 2 of 3 of Tengu War, there is a retailer incentive variant cover for this issue too. I don't think we knew the name of the story before so I added it and entries for #17 and the presumptive conclusion of the story in #18. As far as I know we still don't know the name of the story in #15.
• Also added Wanders Road #4
• Stan is selling the HC version of Book 34: Bunraku and Other Stories so I updated that cell
• Added release date information about the HC and TPB 2nd Editions of Saga 1.
• Added release date information about Saga Book 2 2nd Edition.
• Added Saga 9 HC and TPB.
