Usagi Yojimbo: Showdown starts as Gen and Usagi hit the road together after returning the sacred sword Grasscutter to Atsuta Shrine. The traveling pair find their next adventure in a distant town where the locals don't see anything wrong with gambling halls, roving bands of thugs, and police corruption. Street brawls by rival gang-members are as common as kimonos in this small town, and it isn't long before Usagi finds himself stepping into a vicious, four-against-one fight to save a defenseless man. But the "victim" turns out to be as corrupt as everyone else in this messed-up town, and Usagi and Gen decide to put an end to the senseless violence and pervasive corruption before the town implodes under its own weight of hatred and conflict. Their modus operandi? Each ronin takes a side and fights the gangs' corruption from within. It's a risky venture, but if anyone can do it...
Usagi Yojimbo: Showdown is a two-issue miniseries, written and drawn by Stan Sakai, debuting March 21 from Dark Horse Maverick.
