Stan Sakai's original series starring the rabbit _ronin_ is available online for the first time as part of Dark Horse's complete digital presentation of _Usagi Yojimbo_! Captured by the Komori clan of bat ninja, Usagi must not only escape but also give warning to both the goldmine they plan to ambush and the village they've been terrorizing, in the conclusion to Blood Wings.� But with the razor-winged outlaws intent on slaying him, he may not have the chance to save either one! It's the quality of Stan's scripting and artwork that really impresses me the most. In his writing, with an economy of dialogue, he manages to capture subtle and dramatic emotions as well to convey the sense of honor and tradition embodied in the centuries-old code of the Samurai.� Stan Lee
