Story and art by Stan Sakai.
The close of sixteenth century Japan is regarded as the Age of Civil Wars, as feudal lords fought amongst themselves for land and power. When one leader finally rose above the others and was proclaimed Shogun, a peace came upon Japan and the samurai warriors found themselves suddenly unemployed. Many of these Ronin turned to banditry to survive, others found work with minor lords. And a small number traveled the musha shugyo -- the warrior pilgrimage -- to hone their spiritual and martial skills. But whether they took the honest road or the crooked path, the Ronin all found one common link -- they were generally less than welcome. Such is the tale of Usagi Yojimbo.

How is it that Usagi's lord was killed, leaving him a ronin? How did he receive the scar on his forehead? These questions and more are answered in this very special issue of Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo, featuring three unique stories, including one inked by Sergio Aragones! Usagi's most popular villain -- Jei, the demon-possessed spearman -- continues his hunt for the rabbit ronin in the second story, and, in the third story, readers learn of what happens to a defeated general as he patiently waits for his chance to lead another rebellion . . . and what he does when his opportunity comes.

In a second story, Kagemaru plots to usurp Chizu as the leader of the Neko Ninja Clan by revealing her traitorous actions to Lord Hebi. Hebi is later attacked in an assassination attempt, but Kagemaru comes to his rescue -- or does he?
