Review Quotes:
Usagi Yojimbo is one of the most acclaimed comics of the last 30 years. It deserves as wide an audience as possible. This is a sturdy set, well constructed and respectfully designed. It's hard to imagine any comics reader who doesn't already have these stories would regret having this on their shelf.--Tim O'Neil "The A.V. Club"

Review Quotes:
I don't think I'm exaggerating at all when I say that Stan Sakai is arguably the greatest living comic book creator in the world, and Usagi Yojimbo is a thirty-year masterpiece that has a consistency and craftsmanship that other comics only touch when they're at their peak.--Chris Sims "ComicsAlliance"
