My copy just showed up yesterday. Hopefully I'll have time to read it this weekend.

Picked mine up last week and looking forward to some quiet time to read it! I love the intro, Stan's humor in UY has always been an important part of my world. :D

After some waiting, I got my copy from my local bookstore, as a late birthday gift for myself!

On a side note: the funny thing was that, instead of Senso, they actually typed in UY volume 29 as my pre order, good thing they had an available copy... and they called me while on a bus ride home from work... an error, but somehow a blessing in disguise, hehe; plus they sell it much cheaper than the comic book store where I usually get my pulls.

UY vol 29: Two Hundred Jizo will be out in a few weeks.

There are a lot of Usagi stuff coming out right now. Vol 29 will be followed by UY Saga 4 in August.

Just bought and read the collection amazing. After all these years I've always wondered how Usagi Yojimbo would finally "end" and even though this might not be the ultimate ending (the main series is still ongoing), it provided some closure for the characters we've been following for decades.

I have to say, I'm not sure if I really want this to be the canon ending for Usagi (and Gen). I always thought Usagi would live to a ripe old age, and be one of those old Japanese masters passing down his knowledge to young students, sort of like Usagi's mentor was.

If you aren't getting free shipping from Amazon I'd suggest InStockTrades.

They have great prices and shipping is only $4.00 (United States). They don't have the super fast Amazon Prime shipping, but I don't usually need books in a day or two.

I may not get Senso off there, but I will definitely be looking into getting some of the other Usagi books! On Amazon, you can't get the Usagi books unless they're used, which I am not buying. Thanks!

When I can, I pre-order UY books like I did with Senso. Usually Amazon is good with fulfilling those orders. I got my copy of Senso the other day.

But I understand your view on ordering used books. When I do so, I only look for sellers with 97% feedback rating or higher. Interestingly enough, sellers that are Goodwill-related have very decent copies of books and ship quickly.

Bone is fantastic! I just read it last year and really enjoyed it. I hope you find it to be as entertaining as I did!

Black & white or in color? Either way, Bone is a terrific series.
