 Published: June 24, 2009 Synopsis: "Once again wandering through the country, Usagi comes upon the aftermath of a bloody fight. The carnage has left only one survivor -- Hiroto, a bounty hunter on the trail of the local bandit leader. Now that his group has been ambushed by the bandits, and everyone else has been killed, Hiroto needs help. He recruits Usagi to the cause, and together they set out after the gang. However, Usagi realizes -- too late -- that his partner is the bandit chief himself!" Notes:- Collected in Usagi Yojimbo Volume 26: Traitors of the Earth and The Usagi Yojimbo Saga Book 7
- Very rare use of a double-page spread on pages 4-5

Near the end of this one, when Usagi says he left stacked rocks and broken branches as a trail for others to follow, I immediately flipped back to see if they were in-panel. Of course they were. That's clever on Usagi's part and on Stan's.
I also liked that the ramifications of Inazuma's death, and Usagi's part in denying anyone a bounty on it, are still felt so long (in real time, not story time) after it happened.

I loved that twist, I noticed him breaking the branch the first time through and thought it was weird and then at the end I loved that it was actually on page. |
