It's been quite some time since we've seen the samurai assassin and his son in the pages of Usagi Yojimbo, and it can only mean trouble for our favorite rabbit ronin! Back by popular demand and in honor of the influential Lone Wolf and Cub comics, Stan Sakai's animal version of the dangerous duo on the road to hell parallels Koike and Kojima's epic in this action-packed, suspenseful adventure. Gorogoro, the "Kid" in question, has been separated from his father, the fearsome Lone Goat, and it's up to Usagi to bring them back together before a shifty samurai gang with a dubious plan gets in the way. The heat is on ? and just in time for the winter! On sale January 23 b&w, 24 pg . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $2.99 Cover price $2.99.
