Usagi Yojimbo #11
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis eleventh volume of the Usagi Yojimbo series collects stories that follow the ronin Miyamoto Usagi through the changing seasons of feudal Japan. The collection includes encounters with allies like Gen and Tomoe Ame, as well as confrontations with the serpentine Lord Hebi and the vengeful Lord Hikiji, weaving together action and introspection across multiple storylines.
In "The Withered Field," Usagi Yojimbo follows Gen on a perilous detour through a desolate landscape, where a seemingly simple act—Gen slaying a snake—unearths a haunting consequence. The serpent’s mate rises as a vengeful spirit, twisting the natural world into something eerily alive and hostile. Written and illustrated by Stan Sakai, this issue blends quiet dread with the series’ signature blend of folklore and samurai tradition, all rendered in Sakai’s distinctive, expressive style. The cover, also by Sakai, captures the eerie stillness of the field, hinting at unseen dangers beneath the surface.
In "Hebi," Gen leads Usagi on one of his notorious shortcuts through the wilderness, only for a deadly encounter with a snake to set off a haunting twist: when Gen kills the serpent, its mate appears as a vengeful witch, weaving dark magic into the forest's silence.
