Because of the rock’s brokenness, a giant catfish named Namazu is no longer properly held, and HIS movement underground will tear the land apart.

The story of the issue is fairly basic: increased earthquake activity rocks the land, and we come to find out that everything could be destroyed if a piece of rock isn’t replaced from where it was broken off. So that was an immediate bit of disappointment format-wise, and a bit of a shock.Īnother initial, pre-story immediate complaint I have is one that’s usual for me: there are TOO MANY DARNED COVERS! Instead of having UMPTEEN different covers, all for the same single one-shot single-issue, why not have a "gallery" included in the issue as a true, actual, real BONUS to those buying the comic, with extra pages by whatever artist(s) showing the characters involved? Instead, we have a number of variants and "exclusives" that are REALLY getting very "old" and extremely off-putting to me as a guy who just wants the entire content-story and iconic, singular covers, not generic incentive chase covers all the darned time! "Knowing" this was going to be a more expensive issue, I just naturally "assumed" it would be a "prestige format" book–squarebound and such–like the two annuals or the big 50th issue! Instead, for the steep $7.99 price point, we get a slightly-thicker-than-usual standard-feeling issue, staples and all. I’ve looked forward to this since it was announced, whenever that was–a couple or a few months ago, perhaps. I decided not to individually list it with the IDW releases because it’s borderline action-figure only…so, an IDW comic but not solicited as such.Edited by: Bobby Curnow, Philip R.
USAGI YOJIMBO TMNT 2017 FULL
Also, it will be listed on my full collection. As far as I know, the only Usagi Yojimbo figure that had this Samurai Special included with it was the SDCC 2017 Usagi Yojimbo figure from Playmates. It’s actually a completely different book titled “TMNT/Usagi Yojimbo Samurai Special,” the contents of which are completely unique and different than the TMNT/Usagi Yojimbo One-Shot.

As far as I know, this Samurai Special ‘pack-in’ was only included with the Limited Edition SDCC 2017 Usagi Yojimbo figure from Playmates. It’s actually a very small and thin book in comparison to the TMNT/Usagi Yojimbo One-Shot. This cover is for an action figure ‘pack-in’ book that has a completely different title… “TMNT/Usagi Yojimbo Samurai Special.” The contents of this ‘pack-in’ book are completely unique and different than the TMNT/Usagi Yojimbo One-Shot. However, I get many questions about it so I figured I’d document it here.
