I'm wondering: this looks like a temple, and she's got a solemn look on her face (to avoid the word "sad"); is she gone spiritual? Or has she lost someone dear??

And what does Usagi have to protect her from?

Questions, questions....

Great cover. Lots of detail and emotion.

Do you think Mr. Sakai has once again put our favourite characters through the emotional wringer? :wink:

Glad to hear Sasuke is returning; he's one of my favorites too. I re-read "Kumo" last night (I've been reading the entire run of UY from the beginning to the current issues for the past week), and I still enjoy that story a lot. It makes me wonder what a full-fledged horror comic by Stan Sakai would be like.

Gotta love that footnote: "Usagi is in this too."

Y'know...FYI.

Yes. I sent an e-mail with the art to Todd before posting on my LJ.

No doubt he is busy at work.
