Stan Sakai’s importance to comics is something that I will never let go understated, clearly. Debuting in 1984, Miyamoto Usagi has been around in one form or another for 30 years now. To celebrate, Dark Horse Comics has recently reprinted some more past Usagi stories in color, announced the release of gorgeous hard cover reprints of the “Usagi Yojimbo” chronology, is publishing the “Stan Sakai Project” later this month, and is publishing Sakai’s brand new series “Usagi Yojimbo: Senso.”

“Senso” promises to take Usagi 20 years into the future and into the realm of science fiction. Our friends at Dark Horse Comics just dropped a preview on us, which we are delighted to share with you. Please see the full press release at the bottom of the page for more information from Dark Horse.

“Usagi Yojimbo: Senso: #1 hits the stands on August 6th, 2014. Do not miss it.

And here’s the solicit:
