Description by Tucci, Cohn, & Perrotta Hot off the astonishing, super-hit Wolverine/Shi, Billy Tucci returns to pencil his sensual sohei warrior in Shi: The Year of the Dragon #1! For the first time in three years, Shi stars in a monthly series! The Year of the Dragon three-issue miniseries takes us back to 1988, where 17-year-old high school student Ana Ishikawa tries to save her best friend, Yoko, from the dangerous lifestyle of a motorcycle "Speed Tribe." Yoko descends down a dark and deadly spiral of drugs, violence and prostitution. Ana learns that the opium den that Yoko has been frequenting is owned by the Yakuza Kingpin, Masahiro Arashi, the same man who murdered her family years before. In a desperate attempt to rescue Yoko ? and thirsting for vengeance ? Ana sets her sights on a strategy for total war! The question is: will this sailor uniform-clad sweetie be able to save Yoko's life against the mighty Yakuza? Will Ana be able to survive The Year of the Dragon?! Shi: The Year of the Dragon will be penciled and colored in the "Pop Art" style of the late 80s icon, Patrick Nagel. It was Nagel who first inspired Tucci to draw women, and was the inspiration for the cover of Shi: Senryaku #1. Co-writing with Tucci on this incredible "Year One" story arc is Shi: Senryaku author, Gary Cohn. Gary's cerebral, hard-boiled writing style has been delighting comic fans since creating The Blue Devil for DC Comics in 1984! The art team rounds out with Wolverine/Shi inker Rich Perrotta, whose sensitive brush lines compliment Tucci's sensual illustrations perfectly!
