Shi: The Way of the Warrior

Created by William Tucci

This is some of the most beautiful comix I have ever seen. Billy Tucci's art is phenomenal. The story of Ana Ishikawa is a compelling one. It's great to see a strong woman character without a gravity-defying chest and a completely impractical costume. This is what all the "Bad Girl" comix aspire to be, but never quite make it.

Ana Ishikawa has intelligence and a conscience. Her involvement in martial arts and her battles are spiritual and familial. The battle sequences are filled with her visions and thoughts. It is a wonderful book.

This page is a tribute to Shi: The Way of the Warrior, the twelve issue mini-series that introduced the comic world to Ana Ishikawa and the gorgeous art of Billy Tucci.
