Kazuo Koike and Koseki Gojima's classic, epic, bloody, and poetic manga Lone Wolf and Cub may well be the best gateway manga of them all. In this video I give a brief introduction to the series, and talk about why I love it and what makes it one of the best comics I've read. Includes an edition comparison between the original Dark Horse English editions and the more recent Omnibus volumes, also from Dark Horse Comics. There's also a sneak peek and what's coming up next!
