Continued from Daredevil Shi (1997) #1.
The year's coolest crossover concludes as Daredevil squares off against the deadly and beautiful Shi. Little does he realize that Ana has been recruited by renegade ninja members of the infamous sect known as The Hand. By their dark ninja sorcery, they've given Shi more than enough occult power to destroy the Man Without Fear. It's a searing test of Faith and Spirit for Ana Ishikawa and Matt Murdock. Hanging in the balance is the fate of someone very near and dear to Ana--Detective Peter DeNyse, on trial for murder...with Murdock as the prosecutor!
