CRUSADE'S EXPANDED ILLUSTRATED WARRIOR #7 SPORTS TWO COVERS

In celebration of the finale to Billy Tucci's critically acclaimed miniseries, Shi The Illustrated Warrior, Crusade Fine Arts' will ship the seventh and final issue with two covers and an additional eight pages of story and art.

Focusing on the final confrontation between Ana Ishikawa (Shi), and Masahiro Arashi, Shi - The Illustrated Warrior #7, (item code #DEC022622) concludes the acclaimed miniseries by Shi creator Billy Tucci and New York Times best-selling author Craig Shaw Gardner.

"We really wanted to go out with a bang for the series finale." Tucci stated, "The story is really about two people whose whole lives were just preludes to their defining and colliding moments of destiny. This issue is as much Shi's as it is Arashi's , and the two covers and added pages will exemplify that."

Combining the very best aspects of Gardner's novelized verse and Tucci's richly detailed illustrations, Warrior is based on the award-winning Way of the Warrior story arc but with an added crucial twist that forever alters the Shi universe.

The two variant covers shipping in a 50/50 split and eight additional pages of content will expand the comic from its original 24 page format to 32 pages. It will retain its original cover price of $2.99 U.S.
