Today's cover features a relative newcomer that has been slicing her way through the comics scene. Shinku is a samurai that hunts down vampires from the creative mind of Ron Marz and the talented pen of Lee Moder. Her adults only Image comics mini-series was a sell out, and hopefully that means there is more to come. I imagine that even veteran horror star Vampirella would think twice before crossing Shinku's path!
Wow, I've never heard of Shinku, but I always love it when you use either obscure or independently published creations like this, Ross. Please, lets have more of them, and less DC & Marvel!
ReplyDeleteThere was a cross-over team up, about ten years ago or so, between Vampirella and Shi (the female sohei vigilante). That might--repeat: MIGHT--have inspired Shinku's creator(s). Personally, I'd like to see a three-for-all between Vampi, Shi, and Jade!
ReplyDelete@my namesake: This Shinku is just a rip-off mixture of Shi, BTVS, and a certain Rozen Maiden doll.
ReplyDeleteSeems like she and Blade would make a good teamup.
