Usagi Yojimbo- Ten Thousand Plums # 3- The Flowers of Edo
Usagi Yojimbo: Ten Thousand Plums # 3: Writer, Artist, Cover Artist: Stan Sakai Colorist: Hi-Fi Colour Design The vengeful Kitsune explains to Usagi why she is attacking everybody. Her tragedy is too great; the sin the villagers have committed could not be forgiven. Usagi will manage to defeat her, but her burning body will take with it a great part of the trees, and a terrible fire will consume her revenge. I laughed when the cruel bounty hunter Gen decides that keeping up with Usagi means too much adventure! The Usagi post-scriptum for this issue is about the fear of fire in Japanese culture. Did you know it was called The Flowers of Edo and was feared as much as tsunamis? Or that Tokyo itself burned to the ground forty-nine times between 1603 and 1867? To this day, you can see buckets filled with water outside temples and buildings, meant for bokayoi, fire prevention. Usagi Yojimbo: Ten Thousand Plums # 3 is on sale since May 14th, 2025. Genre: Action/Adventure, Kids Format: FC, 32 pages; Miniseries Price: $4.99 Age range: 8+ UPC7 61568 01372 6 00311

Where to Find The Best Pizza on 30A
Share with your friends! Pinterest LinkedIn Email Flipboard Reddit Pizza night is a family favorite — it's easy, comforting, and universally loved. Along 30A, you don't have to sacrifice quality for convenience. Whether you're feeding sandy-footed kids or craving a casual night with a touch of indulgence, these spots serve top-tier pies in settings that are as welcoming as they are delicious. Brozinni's Pizzeria Location: Seagrove Beach More Info: If you're longing for a taste of authentic New York, Brozinni's delivers — literally and figuratively. The owning family bought the recipes from a long-standing NYC shop, and they do not miss in bringing the flavors of the East Coast to the Emerald Coast. Their pizzas are hand-tossed and cooked to perfection, featuring that delicious golden crust with just the right amount of chew. The menu also includes meat sticks (sausage is a must-try!), burgers, wings, salads, and hearty pasta dishes. This is most certainly a delivery option as the location has limited seating, but expect it to be a hit with your family! The Chicken Bacon Ranch (formerly known as the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway) is a personal favorite. Farm & Fire Location: Santa Rosa Beach More Info: Farm & Fire offers a more elevated take on pizza night, with a focus on local sourcing and artisan techniques. Located off 30A and on the bay, it blends rustic wood-fired cooking with a warm, welcoming ambiance and stunning water views. Their pizzas feature hand-stretched dough, bold flavor profiles, and premium toppings — don't read the menu, just get the Prosciutto & Arugula option. The vibe is a touch more grown-up, but the menu is approachable enough for kids, making it a fantastic family-friendly option for a slightly special night out. It also expertly combines Asian elements with a complete sushi menu as well as tapas gems like pork dumplings, Korean pork bites, lettuce wraps, and a fig & brie naan that stands alone. This is an early-closer for the beach, with lights out at 9pm every night of the week, so take advantage of a 4-6pm happy hour and roll right into dinner service with a view. Farm & Fire does not offer delivery. Pin Grace Pizza and Shakes Location: Grayton Beach More Info: Equal parts gourmet and fun, Grace Pizza and Shakes feels like a little celebration in every bite. Their Neapolitan-inspired pizzas are baked in a wood-fired oven and come topped with fresh, inventive ingredients — from local hot honey drizzle on the Sweet Perfection to all of the meats on its Grace Supreme. The Grayton location also offers a gluten free specialty pie, Ashlyn's Art, with a cauliflower crust that can trick you into thinking it's dough. And the milkshakes? Wildly indulgent and visually over-the-top (think cake slices, cookies, and candy as garnish). It's a must-visit for families wanting something truly memorable — and camera-ready. For families from Texas: Yes, this is an expansion on the three locations in the Lone Star State. Bruno's Pizza Location: WaterSound More Info: A true local institution, Bruno's has been satisfying hungry beachgoers for over 30 years. If you're trying to hit all of the classic spots on 30A, this is THE original in the area. Known for its thick, doughy crust and a generous hand with toppings, Bruno's serves classic, comfort-style pizza. The casual, counter-serve atmosphere is perfect for kids, and their buffet (served every day from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) is ideal for trying a little bit of everything at a very reasonable price point. Plus, their Alabama Sweet Tea is something to experience and, as advertised, doesn't need anything added. For a laid-back evening, check the event calendar and enjoy a local band with a great view. Bruno's is located right by the WaterSound Beach Club and has a limited delivery area to the west side of 30A, so be sure to verify they come to you! They will deliver all the way east to Carrillon Beach by Lake Powell. Pizza by the Sea Multiple Locations More Info: One of the most family-friendly pizza spots on 30A, Pizza by the Sea has carved out a name for itself with colorful interiors, a welcoming vibe, and fun, flavor-packed pizzas. Think Mellow Mushroom … but local. With locations in Seacrest, WaterColor, Gulf Place, and off-30A in Sandestin, it's an easy go-to no matter where you're staying. Their inventive menu includes options like the Bacon Cheeseburger and Spaghetti & Meatball pizzas — proof that playful and gourmet can go hand in hand. Plus, they offer gluten-free crusts and veggie-heavy choices for parents looking to keep things light. If you don't particularly enjoy tomato-based pizza sauce, you are in luck here because PBTS does some of its best work with non-traditional bases, offering BBQ sauced pizza, multiple garlic butter olive oil options, as well as buffalo and chipotle sauces. Not feeling pizza? Their meatball sub is one of the best on the beach. Also, they do not deliver, so be ready to pickup or enjoy it for lunch while out and about. Pazzo Italiano Location: Santa Rosa Beach More Info: If you're on the west side of 30A and in the mood for pizza that leans luxurious without losing its laid-back charm, Pazzo Italiano brings the best of both worlds. Known for wood-fired Neapolitan-style pies, this spot is ideal for families who appreciate fresh, high-quality ingredients served in a warm and contemporary space. Think blistered crusts, perfectly balanced sauces, and toppings like prosciutto, spicy salami, fresh basil, and house-made mozzarella. Their Diavola pizza is a fan favorite — equal parts heat and flavor — and any of the speciality offerings are sure to please. But it's not just about the pizza, Pazzo also shines with handmade pastas, indulgent appetizers (don't miss the truffle fries or burrata), and an Italian wine list that's a step above the usual beach fare. Pin Lola Coastal Italian Location: Rosemary Beach More Info: Lola brings a touch of elegance to Rosemary Beach with its coastal Italian menu and chic interior. While their house-made pastas and seafood dishes shine — and are a reason to visit on their own accord — the pizzas are standout stars that more than earn their place. Cooked in a stone oven and topped with high-end ingredients like truffle oil, ricotta, and arugula, these pies offer a refined take on a classic. It's a great spot for families with older kids or anyone wanting a more elevated evening while still keeping the atmosphere welcoming. Few places on 30A will double down on a mushroom pizza like Lola does, so take advantage with its portobello, shitake, and button offering that is among the best on the beach. Ghost Crab Pizza Location: Inlet Beach More Info: Ghost Crab Pizza places a big bet on its namesake and then takes it to the next level with its Ghost Crab Rangoon pizza that is a must-try! The location is a lively, fun, and flavor-forward spot nestled near Inlet Beach. While it is new to the area, it offers a wide range of classic and creative pizzas, with standout crust and a rotating list of specialty pies that keep things exciting. The space is bright and casual, perfect for a low-key dinner or take advantage of a daily lunch special with the kids. Bonus: they have a solid beer and wine selection for the grown-ups. It leans into speciality 'za with high-end offerings like its Truffle Pig pizza that earns rave reviews, a Bee Sting that blends honey and jalapeño with pepperoni, and the Fromaggi that blends mozzarella, parmesan, smoked gruyère, and piped ricotta. Pin The Wine Bar Location: WaterColor More Info: A favorite for its happy hour, The Wine Bar surprises with crisp, beautifully composed flatbread-style pizzas. While best known for its wine selection and relaxed al fresco dining, their pizza options — like Classic Margherita, an amazing Quatro Fromage, and a Chicken Pesto — are flavorful and satisfying. Pair it with a chilled glass of rosé while the kids dig into a simple cheese or pepperoni pie, and you've got the perfect end to a day on the beach. Whether you're winding down from a beach day or looking for a laid-back evening out, 30A offers pizza options that go beyond basic — delivering memorable meals in beautiful settings. Because here, even a slice of pizza is served with style. ********** Give your inbox the Southern makeover it deserves — subscribe to StyleBlueprint's FREE daily emails!

DC This Week Roundup – Body-Swaps and Dark Parlays
Fire and Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #2 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: This second volume of Joanne Starer's reinvention of the JLI girls is definitely denser and wackier than the previous one, and it doesn't get much wackier than a bodyswap. Trying to get their powers back where they should be, Fire experimented with magic – and wound up with the right powers, but in the wrong body. This leads to chaos, as the two are scheduled to appear at the Smallville Fair, and their performance goes horribly wrong in more ways than one. After Bea gets tired and wishes that everyone who finds this funny could see what they're going through, it happens again – and their close group of friends winds up all swapped as well. Zachary Zatara offers a way out of it, but they'll need to head into dangerous territory to pull it off. Overall, this issue definitely embraces the oddball roots of the property, and the bawdy nature of the humor won't be for everyone, but I laughed out loud several times. DC Vs. Vampires: World War V #9 cover, via DC Comics. DC vs. Vampires: World War V #9 – Matthew Rosenberg, Shane McCarthy, Writers; Otto Schmidt, Fabio Veras, Artists; Pierluigi Casolino, Francesco Segala, Colorists Ray – 8/10 Ray: This comic has firmly shifted from a horror tone to a pure action tone with this issue, as Darkseid's invasion shifts the direction of the war and forces even the humans and vampires to forge an uneasy alliance. Queen Barbara and Grodd do their best to intimidate Green Arrow, but ultimately both sides are reluctantly taking direction from the New Gods. There's a big mission down to Atlantis, as well as a great reveal about the fate of Mister Miracle, but the tone is so overtly chaotic that few characters make an impact – except for the bizarrely funny teamup of Green Lantern Alfred and Ra's Al Ghul Batman. The backup, featuring Wildcat, might be the stronger of the two stories. Ted Grant has been in search of his son Tommy, only to discover the boy's already been turned. What follows is one of the more personal, sadder tales in this series so far, and one perfectly suited to one of DC's best down-to-earth blue-collar heroes.
