Shi

In the late 1990s, German publisher Infinity Verlag brought a bold, standalone vision to the shelves with Shi, an eight-issue series that fused martial arts mysticism with a gritty urban setting. The title character, a warrior monk haunted by her past, navigates a world of ancient rivalries and modern corruption, blending kinetic action with introspective storytelling. While the series was brief, it carved a distinct niche for its sharp, cinematic art and willingness to explore themes of redemption and honor outside the typical superhero framework. For fans of mature, character-driven comics, Shi remains a striking artifact of its era.
