Shi: Judgment Night #1, published by Crusade Comics in 1998, brings to life the creation of Billy Tucci. The series follows Ana Ishikawa, a masterful warrior schooled in both samurai and ninja disciplines, who walks the fine line between the traditions of her Japanese ancestry and the turbulent streets of modern New York City. Renowned for its fusion of high-octane action, spiritual undertones, and deeply personal storytelling, Shi rose to prominence as one of the most iconic independent comics of the 1990s. In Judgment Night, Ana faces a perilous clash where survival is as crucial as maintaining her honor, rendered with Tucci’s hallmark blend of stylized artwork, fierce combat, and emotional intensity.
