Do you read the comic? It just got really really good. I don't want to spoil anything for you, though.

I tried to read some of my older bro's comics, but he mysteriously lost them. So I stick to playing with his action figures and watching the movies...

By the way, I don't read Manga, I never have. The only reason I know about Usagi Yojumbo is because there was a cool game of the character, I used to play it on the Commodore 64 back in the 80's and it rocked.

Ghost in the Shell (the animation movie) is anime, yes. BUT it´s based on the original comic/manga. That is a quite common way in Japan: first comic/manga which, if popular, is later adapted as animation/anime.

Usagi Yojimbo is actually a US comic, made by Stan Sakai. So no manga.

Excellent comic, excellent site.

I had to even try the old C64 game with an emulator last year. I was positively surprised at it´s quality.

Sweet!!

I've got Eric Draven (The Crow, MOMC) Mike Myers (Halloween, opened) and Candyman (Candyman3, MOMC)

I wanna get the large Ash figure too

Shame they weren't too readily available in my neck of the woods

I recommend checking out the Ghost in The Shell manga myself.

That and the Dirty Pair stuff by Adam Warren

All I can say is in Fatal but Not Serious look for the tattoo on Yuri that states "Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here!" I won't ruin it anymore than that.
