#usagiyojimbo Kaito ‘84 #comicbook by @comicnerd1988.bsky.social & @jaredcullum.bsky.social is off to a fantastic start and well worth checking out from @darkhorse.com

You’re so kind! Thank you!

Went to Kiki’s Delivery Service at the imax! Left SUPER charged with inspiration as always.

IN STORES NOW!
“…It’s strong, intriguing character work from Rosenberg, and it gives Cullum space to do expressive, memorable cartooning for Kaitō... Cullum’s depiction of Osaka in 1984 is dense, vibrant, and recalls a terrific Japanese neo-noir from the era…” -AIPT comics

Tomorrow can’t get here fast enough.

Usagi Yojimbo: Kaito #84 #1 hits the shelves & I’m honestly as excited as a kid on Christmas Eve!

Really looking forward to seeing what @comicnerd1988.bsky.social & @jaredcullum.bsky.social do with another corner of the Usagi universe.
