Since it's listed as "Origins vol. 1," I find the naming a bit odd, as I wonder if all subsequent releases will fall under the "Origins" moniker (because most of them won't be dealing with Usagi's origins, but rather just his "pre-IDW" times), or if we'll have a couple volumes of Origins, then a couple volumes of something else, and then a couple more of some other title, etc.?
If "Origins" is going to persist across all the releases, I think they should have just stuck with "Color Classics" instead, as that would be more accurate than calling everything an "origin" story. If they plan on changing the title after a couple volumes (for example: Origins vol. 1-3, then New Title vol. 1-2, followed by Newer Title vol. 1-4, etc), that might be a bit confusing for new readers wondering where each set of volumes takes place in relation to another set of volumes.
It's also possible that perhaps they put the title in the wrong order on these announcements, and it should read "Usagi Yojimbo vol. 1: Origins" and then the next one would be "Usagi Yojimbo vol. 2: xxxxxx." That would frankly make a lot more sense to me than calling them all "Origins" or changing the title every few volumes, and would fit with the easy to understand naming format of "Usagi Yojimbo book ##: TITLE" that is currently used.
