On this episode, we take a long-overdue look at one of the most influential manga of the last 50 years: Lone Wolf and Cub by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima! Specifically, selected stories from Vol. 1: The Assassin’s Road, as published by Dark Horse Manga!

Who is this taciturn assassin known as Lone Wolf and Cub? Why does he push his young son across feudal Japan in a wooden baby carriage with a banner that reads “Son for Hire, Sword for Hire?” How did he get to be such a proficient killing machine? And can father and son survive their harrowing journey along that Road to Perdition known as ... The Comics Canon?

In This Episode:

· “I’m Ogami Itto, and this is Jackass!”

· Daigoro’s tricked-out baby cart

· The return of everyone’s vampire-slaying pig!

· Dune: Part Two

· Fullmetal Alchemist Vol. 1

· House of R on the Lone Wolf and Cub trope

Join us in two weeks as we discuss the 1982 Wolverine miniseries by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller!
