Sunday Trade: Usagi Yojimbo

Usagi Yojimbo: Book 1: The Ronin by Stan Sakai

I've talked about Sakai's comic before. But it bears repeating. More than just a "furry" comic, Usagi Yojimbo is a brilliant ongoing story set in the Shogunate Japan. Sakai melds history and myth together seamlessly together, as well as blending romance, drama, action and comedy...

In this first volume alone are battles against monsters, ninjas, bandits and the blind swordsman Zatoichi. It would be easy to dismiss Sakai's work as another funny animal book, but that would mean missing out on one of the best ongoing series in comics...

Dark City: Director's Cut

It had been a while since I'd seen the original so I'm not sure where the extra footage was put in. But thats ok, since I'd also managed to forget how damn good this movie is. The creepiness of the Dark Men, how well they manage to make the psychic stuff look and how well done the big reveal was...

Really an amazing movie and I'm glad to be reminded of that...
