That would explain it then! :D

Steve-san is too good at his job to have posted an incorrect date! :wink:

Speaking of Saga and dates..... do we have any clues if books 5 & 6 are scheduled (and if so, when)?
Amazon has Saga 5 listed as December 8, so I'd expect it to be available a week earlier from your usual comic book retailers.

If I had to guess for Saga 6, I'd say the first week of March. The times between Saga 2 and 3, 3 and 4, and 4 and 5 have all been three months.

Domo Kyle-san!

That's about what I figured for the release schedule, but I wasn't sure if any 'official' dates had been released yet.

This sure has been a busy year for Usagi material (as well as an expensive one for me)! :lol:

Picked up #526 at lunchtime. Think the cover of volume #3 is my favourite of the three saga volumes so far.

Going by your 3 month between releases, I wonder if we will see a Usagi Yojimbo Saga #6 in June with the contents of the yet to be released Usagi Yojimbo Book #30....

It might be my favorite of the three covers as well. They are all great, though.

Would that be right?

Volume 3 includes books #14 -16, so assuming the same pattern continues:

Volume 4 - 17 - 19
Volume 5 - 20 - 22
Volume 6 - 23 - 25

That would mean Saga #8 would include book #30. :)

Right now, it Saga is on a 3-month schedule. It will go on a 4-month schedule after (I think) volume 6.

Also, I will only be signing all the Limited Hardcovers, without a sketch. It just takes too long for me to do up to 1700 drawings for every volume.

Actually I got my copy of Saga vol1 at a discount due because of a tear on the back cover.
