    Who Doesn't Like Rabbits With Swords?

    Usagi Yojimbo comes across a scam going on by master thief Kitsune. Should he step in and do something about it? 
     

    The Good 

    Despite the involvement of swords and fighting, Usagi Yojimbo has an innocent feel to it. The combination of black and white art, cute animals and humorous situations makes each book an escape from the often predictable stories seen in most other comics. The stories continue to shine and entertain as you sit back and enjoy the issue. Even if you haven't been reading Usagi monthly, each issue is easily accessible to all. 
     

    The Bad 

    It's a cute and fun story but it's not an epic masterpiece. It's not meant to be.  
     

    The Verdict 

    Usagi is a rabbit ronin. We're talking a rabbit with swords. That's all you really need to know. Stan Sakai has continuously delivered entertaining Usagi stories for over a decade. The stories might not be instant classics but they're a great way to escape from the typical superhero action comics that always end the same way. With each issue usually a self-contained story, anyone can easily jump in and enjoy the rabbit fighting action.
