For the first time ever, the multi-Eisner Award nominee is collected in a Full-Color, Premium-Formatted, Hard Cover Omnibus Edition!

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.

Originally brought to you by legendary creators Billy Tucci, Peter Gutierrez, Barry Orkin, Michael Bair, Gary Cohn, Dan Mishkin, Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner, and more, Crusade Comics has spared no expense in delivering you this incredible collection. Every story page has been digitally re-mastered from the original comic book pages and also chock full of extra content.

With a Forward and Afterward by comic book legends, Chris Claremont and Stan Sakai, the Shi: Omnibus Vol. 1, is the perfect time capsule capturing the steady progression of a struggling artist's self-published first work into one of the most influential comic characters of the 1990s whose legacy still shines today.
