Thanks for that Steve, I didn't realise "The Artist" was being split over two issues, so I'll get my comic store to put DHP #36 in with my following order.
With a breeze comes a storm, but then you'll all be washed away...

Also Usagi Yojimbo: Senso can be pre-ordered with a release date of 19MAY2015.

And The Usagi Yojimbo Saga Volume #3 can be pre-ordered now as well with a release date of 09JUN2015.--Does anyone know if the hardcover will be numbered and signed like #1 and #2 (I have #555 for Volume 1)?

Yes, seems it's going to be a good year for Usagi... plenty of stuff coming out!
I picked up my copy of Senso 6 yesterday and saw the release schedule on the comic shop's bulletin board. Really looking forward to getting the SAGA hardcovers, as well as the Senso HC.
I would guess that since SAGA 1 & 2 are signed, #3 will be too.

Wow! I am such an idiot.

I pre-ordered the Senso book back on 31 OCT and did not even realize that it was hardcover. What an awesome surprise! I figured it was soft cover. Super cool!

The s/n ltd edition hc of UY Saga 2 is also having a print run of 1500, increased from the 900 for the initial book. Hopefully, plenty for everybody because they look awesome!

Volume 4 of Saga is already up for preorder on Amazon. Looks like October. So, we'll get 3 releases this year, which is fantastic! They may catch up to the TPB's! Vol. 29 of the trades was just solicited by Dark Horse, which gets us caught up to current at issue 144. No solicits yet for #145, but I'm sure it will come later this year. It's wonderful to be treated to so much great UY stuff!
