 Published: January 2002 Synopsis: "The Lone Goat and Kid are back! It's been quite some time since we've seen the samurai assassin and his son in the pages of Usagi Yojimbo, and it can only mean trouble for our favorite rabbit ronin! Back by popular demand and in honor of the influential Lone Wolf and Cub comics, Stan Sakai's animal version of the dangerous duo on the road to hell parallels Koike and Kojima's epic in this action-packed, suspenseful adventure. Gorogoro, the "Kid" in question, has been separated from his father, the fearsome Lone Goat, and it's up to Usagi to bring them back together before a shifty samurai gang with a dubious plan gets in the way. The heat is on -- and just in time for the winter!" Notes: Discuss the issue and/or post full reviews below! |

I love how Usagi got Gorogoro to follow him by simply suggesting he could follow if he wants to. The best part however was Usagi's parting comment to Gorogoro about looking after his father.

I've only read the first volume of Lone Wolf & Cub, so I've always wondered when reading this issue if Stan made an active decision to have Gorogoro remain mute as a grown child, or if that was borrowed from the source material. |

I don't recall the son talking in the volumes of Lone Wolf that I read so I'm guessing it's an homage to the series. |
