Shi: Poisoned Paradise

In 2002, Billy Tucci brought his iconic warrior woman to Avatar Press for a three-issue miniseries that pits the stoic, deadly Shi against a new kind of threat on a tropical island. Known for its lush, detailed artwork and Tucci's signature blend of martial arts action and spiritual introspection, this story expands the character's world beyond her urban roots. It's a compact, visually striking chapter that showcases Tucci's singular vision for one of independent comics' most enduring heroines.
