[QUOTE=Angilasman;459971]I wouldn't count on Fanta rereleasing the special edition. It was sold as a limited deal, but they have been really good about keeping the original format volumes 1 through 7 in print, better than Dark Horse has been about keeping all their Usagi books in print (thankfully they're now making up for that).
I wonder how or if the original Usagi graphic novel, Yokai, will be reprinted, as it was done entirely in watercolor.[/QUOTE]
That sucks. I wasn't reading comics when Fantagraphics released their slipcase special edition, I would've picked that up for sure. Hopefully they do something similar in the future as there will be a lot of new Usagi fans with the new series and the Usagi Saga omnibuses. Good timing for some old Fantagraphic editions to be in deluxe format.

How did everyone like the new issue of Senso? I thought it was really good. Does Usagi have an ongoing series that was interrupted by Senso, or are there just lots of mini series?

The first two issues of Senso have been okay but I'd much rather see a return to the main storyline than a War of the Worlds homage.
The ongoing series was interrupted by Stan Sakai doing work on a 47 Ronin miniseries, but from what I've read, the regular series will pick back up again sometime after Senso is done.

I'm still hoping we one day get to see who the dark ones Jei serves are

I just got 47 Ronin. It was pretty good. An interesting story and I liked all the biographies and etc in the back.

Senso is thrilling... but also terrifying!!!

I have it ordered so as long as it shows up at the shop I will be buying it.

I was on the fence about getting the Saga books, but now I here they're larger than the normal paperbacks? Might have to go with that.

They are larger indeed.
My copy arrived yesterday. its beautiful
-
Anyone else pick up the latest CBLDF 'Liberty Annual'? Stan does a four page Sasuke the Demon Queller story for it.

I enjoyed issue #3 of Senso, but yes, it is a possible future, but not necessarily the only one for Usagi and his circle of friends and enemies.

It's quite a nice package. I was assuming that it would be the same digest size as the other Dark Horse omnibii ([i]Grendel[/i], [i]Nexus[/i], etc), but it has the same dimensions as a regular tpb and a huge page count. It's like DH's [i]Savage Sword of Conan[/i] reprints, but with better paper. Very happy to have this edition, and I've already pre-ordered volumes 2 and 3.

For those who haven not heard, Stan's wife passed away this morning after a long illness. Condolences to the family
