Usagi Yojimbo: Senso

In this 2014-2015 miniseries from Dark Horse, Stan Sakai sends his ronin rabbit, Miyamoto Usagi, into a harrowing new conflict: a full-scale alien invasion of feudal Japan. Written and drawn by Sakai himself across six issues, the story pits Usagi and a cast of familiar faces—including Jotaro, Gen, Tomoe Ame, and the scheming Lord Hebi—against an otherworldly threat that tests both swords and loyalties. A bold departure from the series' usual historical scope, Senso showcases Sakai's ability to blend samurai drama with science fiction while retaining the character-driven storytelling that defines his long-running creation.
