Shi Ki

Shi Ki, a German comic series from Egmont Ehapa that ran for 11 issues between 2013 and 2015, is a dark fantasy saga blending samurai mythos with supernatural horror. The story follows a ronin who returns from the dead, bound to a vengeful spirit that grants him immense power at a terrible cost. Known for its striking, atmospheric artwork and a brooding, cinematic tone, the series explores themes of honor, sacrifice, and the monstrous consequences of violence. It stands out as a concise, self-contained epic that brought a European sensibility to the ghost-samurai genre.
