Book review: Usagi Yojimbo no. 29

Posted on July 8, 2019 by blogendorff • 1 Comment

For the uninitiated, Usagi is a ronin and travels throughout the land, often helping out those in need or just generally getting into trouble. It’s based on the Edo Period in Japan but all the characters are different animals (with most natives of Japan itself). Continue reading →

I wouldn’t normally review something like this, but it’s part of the Read Harder challenge, a humour book, and I am a completist. Continue reading →

I’ve come across America in both Captain Marvel and Young Avengers but this was her first stand alone series. Sadly, it had a pretty short run – just 12 issues. Continue reading →

There’s far less Carol vs Ms Marvel too-ing and fro-ing which was soooo nice.  There’s no real story arc though to keep everything together, just random fights and villains. We also get a new Ms Marvel costume (which is the more iconic lightening bolt that we’re used to). Continue reading →
