Space Usagi
Unimaginable future technology alongside an ancient samurai code. A universe populated with bizarre lifeforms divided into warring clans. Space Usagi is the descendent of the 17th-century samurai, Miyamoto Usagi, and is the hero of his clan. Space Usagi collects all three miniseries previously published by Dark Horse and Mirage. Death and Honor tells of the fall of the Shiroshi star system, White Star Rising chronicles a band of samurai as they attempt to retake their system, and Warrior has Usagi on the trail of the abductor of his lord. Also featured are two short stories, including an encounter with the original Usagi Yojimbo.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars This book is awesome!
Space Usagi ROCKS! If you like Usagi Yojimbo, get this book! This book is good, But not as good as Usagi Yojimbo:Daisho because this book takes place in the future.
5 Stars Another excellent collection of Stan Sakai’s work
Even if you’re not a fan of Stan Sakai’s Usagi Yoyimbo, you can’t go wrong with this excellent collection of his “Space Usagi” issues. Stan hasn’t won the Eisner award for nothing, and once again he displays his talent for story and characters. If you are already familiar with his work, you will enjoy it even more. In today’s comic book (or graphic novel, if you really insist) market, where there are so many new issues with nothing beyond some occasional good color illustrations, it’s very refreshing to see how entertaining a story illustrated in black-and-white can still be when proper respect is given to the characters and the audience. Enjoy!
