The 40th anniversary of Stan Sakai’s Usagi Yojimbo continues, and Dark Horse Comics announced the October release of Space Usagi: White Star Rising, the second Space Usagi story told across three issues.
Taking place directly after the Space Usagi: Death and Honor arc, Space Usagi: White Star Rising sees Miyamoto Usagi, the descendent of the legendary rabbit ronin known as Usagi Yojimbo, continuing to defend the Shirohoshi clan in the far future from scheming rivals, the Kajitori. He meets new friends, like space pirate Rhogen, and new enemies, led by Empress Amateh.
“It’s exciting to see Space Usagi’s second adventure re-colored for this edition, and it features a brand new short story starring a new member of the Usagi cast,” confirmed Sakai in a press release from Dark Horse Comics.
Space Usagi: White Star Rising #1 arrives on October 23, 2024, with a $4.99 cover price.
