Shi: Gatecrashers is an ambitious and wild ride through comic book history, blending time-traveling chaos with creator Billy Tucci’s signature storytelling. At the heart of the narrative is Ran, Billy’s original incarnation of Shi, who plays a pivotal role in the unfolding drama. Her presence ties together the past and present, grounding the story even as it leaps through different eras of comic book styles and trends.
One of the most entertaining aspects of Gatecrashers is Tucci’s use of Golden Age public domain characters. Seeing these classic heroes and villains reimagined and woven into the story adds an extra layer of nostalgia and creativity. The series doesn’t just celebrate Shi’s legacy—it celebrates the evolution of comics as a whole, making it a love letter to the medium.
And let’s talk about those covers—seriously, they’re stunning. Each one captures the high-energy, time-spanning adventure within, making them instant collector’s items. Whether you’re a longtime Shi fan or just love comics that embrace their history while pushing forward, Shi: Gatecrashers is a must-read.
