I was very happy when I received my copy of Crossroads, and I ended up reading it literally as soon as I got my hands on it. Needless to say, I was extremely excited about this, and Crossroads was one of my most anticipated reads for the second half of 2022. Usually, I would have to wait an entire year to get my next Usagi Yojimbo fix, but Sakai appears to be on a roll, as he released the 37 th volume, Crossroads, earlier this month. The 36 th volume, Tengu War!came out in March, and it was pretty damn epic. Thanks to the compelling narratives, complex characters, and exceptional artwork, the Usagi Yojimbo series has always really appealed to me, and I have always tried to grab the new volume as soon as it is released. The series primarily follows the character of Miyamoto Usagi, a rabbit ronin who travels the land facing all manner of evil, including criminals, monsters, ninja and rival samurai. Written and drawn by the exceedingly talented Stan Sakai, the Usagi Yojimbo series is set in an alternate version of feudal Japan inhabited by anthropomorphic animals. Fans of this blog will know that I love, love, love the Usagi Yojimbo series, and it is easily one of my very favourite comic book series. However, one thing that is guaranteed to make me happy is the fact that, for the first time since 2003, this year has seen the release of not one but two volumes of the exceptional Usagi Yojimbo comic.
I think we can all agree that 2022 has been a rather mixed year while the world of books has been fruitful as ever, the world at large does seem to be getting crazier and crazier. The always impressive Stan Sakai presents another outstanding volume in his epic Usagi Yojimbo comic series with the fantastic and fun 37 th volume, Crossroads.
