HERE COMES SHI: GATECRASHER!

For the first time in two-years, Crusade Comics is on the verge of launching Shi: Gatecrasher, a 48-page, full-color, OGN this Friday, November 15, 2024 on crowdfunding platform, Indiegogo.

In Shi: Gatecrasher, we find Ana Ishikawa, (allied with RAN, Shi-creator Billy 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!

Along the way the pair will stand side by side with the world’s greatest indie and public domain heroes before coming face to face with Brian Pulido’s iconic LADY DEATH!Based on the Story by writer J.C. Vaughn and Tucci, and illustrated by Tucci, Leandro Oliveira, Hi-Fi Colour Design, with lettering by Mindy Lopkin, Shi: Gatecrasher is literally the “destroy all monsters” of comic book character collision!

“I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am drawing Gatecrasher!” Exclaimed Tucci. “Every page is a new adventure and style, and I cannot wait to share it with the world!”

Crusade is also preparing a myriad of unique perks and stretch goal rewards. The campaign will boast 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.

Shi: Gatecrasher will also be launching on crowdfunding platform Kickstarter with its own exclusive campaign in the coming weeks.Lady Death and related logos, characters, and distinctive likeness is a registered trademark of Lady Death, LLC. Used with permission.
