    I have a question: How did Usagi get his scar? Also, does anyone know where you can buy Usagi prints and original art?

    Well, it wasn't really a fight: Usagi was Lord Mifune's personal bodyguard, when Mifune died on the battlefield in the battle of Adachi Plain Usagi (as a final service to his lord) cuts of his master's head and escapes so that Lord Hikiji won't be able to display it as a trophy. While fighting his way out of the battle he has a momentary skirmish with Lord Hikiji, where Usagi gets that distinctive crescent wound above his left eye before escaping.

    On the Usagi board I asked when the regular series would return and got a reply from Stan himself:

    The first three issues for Usagi's return are already done, and the first comes out, I think, in May. It is a three issue story with Kitsune meeting Chizu for the first time. Kitsune's happy-go-lucky attitude is a nice contrast with Chizu's super serious one.

    I am halfway through the 4th issue (#148) The One-Armed Swordsman.

    For folks who missed the limited edition hardcover - Fantagraphics is reprinting Usagi Yojimbo: The Special Edition in softcover

    http://www.amazon.com/Usagi-Yojimbo-...=fantagraphics

    For those who came in late: it's the first 7 volumes in a bigger format, much like Dark Horse's UY Saga paperbacks.

    I've gotten the Art of Usagi Yojimbo but I have not gotten The Sakai Project yet. How is it?

    I wonder how or if the original Usagi graphic novel, Yokai, will be reprinted, as it was done entirely in watercolor.
    They are rereleasing it, only in TPB for now:

    Yeah, I mentioned that a few posts ago!

    I was actually blown away by it. The sheer amount of artists who contributed and the quality of the art knocked me out.

    I recently bought Saga volume 1 from a recommendation in the Collected Edition thread, after reading the first story I ordered volume 2. I'm now half way through the first volume and I don't think I've ever read anything this good. I can't wait for the paperback Special Edition and the next Saga volumes, seems like I jumped in at a pretty good time to start collecting and catch up.
