Usagi Yojimbo #19

Usagi Yojimbo #19 comic reviewAs his wanderings lead him further away from home, Miyamoto Usagi comes across a father and son catching tokage for a hermit. Curious to learn more, and helping when one of the two is injured, Usagi helps deliver their latest catch only to run into another ghost from his past.

“The Master of Hebishima” offers a creepy setting in the island of lizards and a hooded figure of mystery who invites the rabbit ronin in but soon reveals a connection between the pair (shown in flashback). He was the soldier who attempted to prevent Usagi from making off with Lord Mifune’s head. Living in shame at being unable to stop the samurai, and getting distracted by a snake, the warrior has dedicated his life to conquering his fear of snakes living on an entire island of them as fate has brought his nemesis to his door.

The Pretender - Someone to Trust TV review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to another episode featuring a man who can be anyone he wants to be. Jarod‘s (Michael T. Weiss) latest job posing as an arsonist to take down a crooked developer takes unexpected turns when Jarod falls for the man’s wife (Julia Campbell) and her husband dies in a fiery explosion that has the local sheriff (Eric Pierpoint) look at both of them as suspects. There’s some nice chemistry between the pair, and in another timeline (where she didn’t plan to frame him and kill him) it would have been interesting go see what could have been. Jarod’s feelings for the widow cloud his judgement enough that he almost becomes the patsy she planned for, using both Jarod and the sheriff to get rid of her husband and claim the $10 million estate for herself.
