Shi: Gatecrasher is literally the “destroy all monsters” of comic book character collision!In
Shi: Gatecrasher, we find Ana Ishikawa, (allied with
RAN, Tucci’s ORIGINAL concept for SHI) trapped within comic book time where she must battle through a cartoonist’s history of four-color imagery to find her way back home.
Starting in 1938, Shi: Gatecrasher takes the reader on an amazing adventure across comics’ incredible decades, trends, and genres. A gripping, funny book fantasy that sees Ana and Ran encountering war, westerns, horror, apes, nazis, space vixens, superheroes, romance, robots, dinosaurs, commies, cartoons, crime, bad girls, zombies and even the seduction of the innocent!
The campaign has also unlocked a myriad of stretch goal rewards that are free to all backers who pledged for a physical perk. The campaign boasts many specials, prints, original art and limited variant covers by Tucci along with comic book greats, Stan Sakai, Renie Strychalski, Art Thibert and superstar Rob Liefeld.
