Beasts of Burden sera de retour en avril pour une nouvelle mini-série intitulée Occupied Territory, une histoire de Evan Dorkin et Sara Dyer qui se déroule dans le Japon de l’après-guerre.

Emrys and a team of canine companions attempt to solve the mystery, bringing them into conflict with shape-changing tanuki, evil oni, and a horde of vengeful demons.
