Shi: Ju-Nen

In 2004, Dark Horse released Shi: Ju-Nen, a four-issue miniseries that revisits the warrior-priestess Ana Ishikawa a decade after her debut. Written primarily by William Tucci and J. C. Vaughn, with Tucci and Mike Renzine on art, this story deepens the mystical and martial-arts mythology of its heroine. It stands as a pivotal chapter for fans of the character, bridging her earlier adventures with a more seasoned, contemplative tone.
