The groundbreaking masterwork of award-winning creator Billy Tucci that literally changed the face of comics and launched the “Bad Girl” revolution returns in this premier formatted, 488-page Hard Cover edition!
The Omnibus collects all 12 issues of Shi: Way of the Warrior, the three-part interlacing Tomoe miniseries, and the 48-page, Shi Vs. Tomoe celebrating the 25th Anniversary of this epic crossover classic that ran from 1994-1996.
This modern-day samurai saga introduces the story of Ana Ishikawa, a young woman born of two cultures and drafted into a shadow war that has existed for over 500 years. In this complete omnibus, we follow Ana as she begins her violent assault on the Yakuza Oyabun Masahiro Arashi. But after several fiery clashes and witnessing the grieving children of those she’s slain in battle; Ana turns away from the sword.
Now the hunter becomes the hunted as Arashi seeks his own revenge against this faceless assailant… and his answer Ana’s Kyoto Sohei (descendants of the medieval warrior-monks) centuries-old enemy, the Narans, led by her best friend, the sociopathic assassin Tomoe.
Heartbreaking twists and exhilarating turns ensue as Ana’s mission unravels into one of blood and madness… and whose culmination’s only salvation is mercy and forgiveness.
