Shi: Judgment Night

In 2000, Crusade Comics released Shi: Judgment Night, a single-issue prestige special that pits the mystical warrior Shi against the armored vigilante the Darkness in a clash of honor and power. Written by Beau Smith and Billy Tucci, with art by Alitha Martinez and William Tucci, this one-shot stands as a key crossover event for the publisher, showcasing the martial-arts driven world of Shi at the height of the indie comics boom. It matters as a definitive moment for the character, bringing together top talent to deliver a self-contained, action-packed confrontation that fans of 1990s creator-owned heroes still remember.
