The setup may have been telegraphed, but how this epic story will end is anyone’s guess. WhereWhen through a time portal and arriving in Japan face-to-face with those looking for dangerous green monsters. As things are bound to happen, the Turtles find themselves following Dr. The boys look amazing in this book and Hi-Fi Design‘s color work really makes all the cool mechanics science bits sing.

Usagi, Tomoe, Jotaro, and Yukichi head off to sort out the Kappa issue. Collects Collects Usagi Yojimbo (1993-1995 2nd Series) 1-16 and Usagi Yojimbo (1996-2018 3rd Series) 1-6.

Of course, we can see where all of this is going, but the ride is well worth it as Stan Sakai‘s art, lettering, and writing is flawless. We start our story in feudal Japan, where Usagi, while serving as a guard for Lord Noriyuki, is approached by some local villages who tell stories of evil Kappa who dwell by a nearby river. And let me tell you, Sakai’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Usagi Yojimbo – WhereWhen #1 (Out tomorrow from IDW) is indeed HOTNESS!įrom the cover readers know our shell heads are going to be meeting up with Usagi and crew before this epic yarn sees completion.

The last I recall seeing it was the last time I left my parent’s house, it was tucked in a drawer, white fur discolored from years of play, warped from being tucked into backpacks and pockets… I’ll probably never see it again but it will always hold a place in my heart, a bright spot in my strange youth. I’m honestly not sure where the figure even ended up. It lost a leg plate in some hospital along the way, the swords were tossed out by my parents when they had a particularly bad weekend and just started throwing random stuff they could find in the house away. It would be years later I learned about Stan Sakai‘s comic but that rabbit went almost everywhere with me. The action figure was super cool with samurai armor leg and arm plates, katana, and a sword staff, and his face sculpt was fierce! I mean this bunny looked like it was ready to go to war. I think my favorite of all the Ninja Turtle stuff though was the samurai rabbit action figure known as Usagi Yojimbo.
