Usagi Yojimbo #157

Usagi Yojimbo #157“The Secret of the Hell Screen” concludes as Miyamoto Usagi and Inspector Ishida lay a trap to capture those responsible for the pair of recent murders at the temple which houses the most bizarre piece of art Usagi has ever come across in his travels.

Although Usagi uncovers the identity of both killers, the rabbit ronin isn’t given the backstory for why a priest would go to such lengths to protect the temple and its devilish attraction. However, the reader is given a short history of the former general and his first stop at the temple which forever changed his destiny and made him the into the priest (and now killer) he is today before leading into a rain-drenched battle between all four men. The fact that his story remains undiscovered by all but the reader adds another level to his tragic tale.

Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps #3

Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps #3As Guy Gardner searches for information about the current state of the universe for the returned Green Lantern Corps, Hal Jordan battles and increasing number of Yellow Lanterns who Sinestro dispatches to take down his former pupil. Eventually the odds become too great likely leading to a confrontation between the pair in next month’s issue.

Heavy on action and mostly centered around Hal Jordan, the issue continues to paint the known universe under Sinestro’s rule as a dark place indeed. With Jordan captured and the other Lanterns still unaware about just what has transpired in their absence I’m curious to see if the focus of the next issue will switch more to Guy Gardner and his own solo adventuring or stick with Jordan as the main protaganist and he’s taken back to Warworld for another confrontation with his arch-enemy.
