Usagi Yojimbo is one of the greatest comic series of all time. Though an anthropomorphic, it is steeped in Japanese shogunate culture and samurai lore. Started in 1984, it moved to Dark Horse comics in 1995, and has been there ever since …
… until today's announcement that the comic is moving over to IDW. No word on the reason for the change, but it provides an opportunity for new publishing of collected editions of the tales of Usagi, which can only be a good thing.
I've had the opportunity to meet Stan Sakai, the writer and artist on UY, and he's a wonderful guy. All the best to him with his new publisher.
