UY 94

Post by Stan Sakai »

Here is a very nice review of the newest issue:


http://www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com/r ... 614085.htm


This issue has an essay of 10 Years of the UY Dojo by Shogun Todd. Diana apologizes, because in having had to cut down the usual text to accomodate both Todd's and my essays, the address for the website was inadvertently left out. Oh, well. It was printed in the comics for the last 5 years or so, and will continue to be.

Very nice review. :D
It has been a while since Silver Bullet ran a reviewof an issue of Usagi Yojimbo.


On a slightly off-kilter note:
Here is a link to a review of issue #83 on the Paperback Reader web-site.

The name of the reviewer might be a bit familiar to Dojo members (he has a really cool Usagi fan-art collection).

My review is on the way...just waiting for the Mail man or woman to bring it by. :wink:

The Fourth Rail also has some good things to say about the Rabbit.

Awesome letter Todd! Congrats and thanks for creating this UY Dojo community. What a unique forum we have. While Stan is the "nicest guy in comics" this forum is the best one I've experienced.

Yes, estee, we want to see a picture of the signed #94. :)

Peace,

I read the issue today.

This is what I love about Usagi Yojimbo.

Just in the course of a single one and done story, you find yourself feeling such empathy for the characters.

I really felt bad for the little girl because you know her father is a dead man.

Usagi continues to be one of my top 5 comics period.

Okay what four comics could possibly be better than Usagi, Deathstroke? :wink:

Okay, I said it was in the top 5 I didn't say it was #5.

It kind of revolves depending on which title has had the best most recent issue.

However, I love Spider-Girl, Birds of Prey, Usagi Yojimbo, Fallen Angel and Queen & Country.
