I really like these little supernatural stories, their short, sweet and usually combine morality play plots with horror elements which is something I love. What makes this one special however is the addition of a mystery story feel as we follow Usagi through a sort of who done it kind of plot.
In addition to being collected in Usagi Yojimbo #26 it's also in Classic Usagi Yojimbo #4 which also collects Bounty Hunter II from Critters #14 and The Tangled Skein from Critters #38

it's also in Classic Usagi Yojimbo #4 I was completely unaware of the Classic Usagi Yojimbo volume until reading this just now! Is it digital-only? |

Looks like it, which is how I went about getting back into Usagi like 5 years back. I lost just about all my original Usagi books when my parents basement flooded while I was in school back in 2008 and only started rebuilding two years later and when I did I went digital pretty hard so I wouldn't lose them again. |

I always feel like I have a greater chance of losing my comics digitally than in print. Hard drives and servers crash, online companies go out of business, and file types stop being supported. That being said, virtually all of my pictures of my family and children are digital and kept on my computer and facebook. This really concerns me. |

For me it's the other way, in ten years I lost either all or some of my physical comic collection three times through fire, a flood and theft but in just about the same amount of time I've never lost a digital book and it doesn't look like that's going to change in the near future. |

For me it's the other way, in ten years I lost either all or some of my physical comic collection three times through fire, a flood and theft Yikes, I'm sorry! I don't know what the actual number crunching would reveal, but it just seems like fires, floods, and thefts are far less likely to happen than hard drives frying and file types becoming obsolete. Or maybe I've just been really lucky. Even more than that, though, occasionally when writing my reviews, I'll realize I need an issue I don't have, and getting it electronically is the most efficient solution. But EVERY TIME I read an electronic version of a comic, I end up enjoying it a lot less. It feels like work to me every time. Man, I love curling up with my Saga editions  |

Man, I love curling up with my Saga editions you may burn out a hard drive or two but just about all my comics are in the cloud at either comixolgy or dark horse digital and both of their the business models seem like they are here to stay and they don't become obsolete as they've continued to update their software and haven't neglected to keep my files. Heck, Dark Horse doesn't even own the Star Wars license any more and I can still read all my Star Wars books I bought from them. |

I have a really hard time trusting cloud storage, especially when it's not from one of the top tech companies. I see why you feel comfortable trusting them, but I do not. |

Backing by like Microsoft or Apple would perhaps put me more at ease but both Dark Horse and Comixology have a vested interest in keeping their customers happy so I'm sure they've invested pretty heavily in their storage. |
