The press release follows:

Media Release – Dark Horse Comics and Dogu Publishing continue the action-packed adventures of the spacefaring rabbit ronin in a full-color edition of Space Usagi: Warrior. The beginning of the end starts now in this final part of the original trilogy of Space Usagi stories, which began with Death and Honor and White Star Rising, this three-issue miniseries created by Stan Sakai is now available in full color for the first time, featuring colors by Emi Fujii. Also included in each issue is a brand-new three-part backup story from Ringo-nominated creator Shawn Daley (TMNT, Power Rangers), giving fans even more reason to collect this full-color series when it arrives in comic shops in January 2027.



In Space Usagi: Warrior:

After the unexpected death of his father, young Lord Kiyoshi is on a mission to secure his reign and collect the hidden Shirohoshi clan treasure, with friend and protector Miyamoto Usagi at his side. But when space pirates and shape-shifting aliens interrupt the mission, a straightforward task becomes a battle of life, death, and honor!



“I’m really pleased that Space Usagi: Warrior is back, but this time with Emi’s wonderful coloring,” said Stan Sakai. “This story is a nice cap to the Space Usagi Trilogy… though I may have another story to tell.”

Then, in a special new three-part backup story by Shawn Daley, Usagi is stranded on a strange planet where unbreakable crystals hide a dark secret.

“Like the vast reaches of the cosmos, Usagi’s adventures are constantly expanding. There are endless planets to protect, galaxies to wander, and tales to tell for the spacefaring ronin,” said Shawn Daley. “As a lifelong Usagi reader, I’m over the moon to be both writing and painting a part of this chapter. Mister Sakai’s prolific body of work holds an unmatched gravitas, and it’s been an astronomical honor to contribute to his universe!”
