Travel between the lands of the living and the dead alongside a
brand-new Chinese hero in a thrilling entry in DC’s We Are
Legends initiative, introducing legendary Asian-American
characters! We Are Legends expands the DC Universe with authentic
stories starring characters of Asian descent, as told by Asian
talent! Spirit World stars Xanthe, a non-binary Chinese hero with
the ability to travel in and out of the Spirit World—the realm of
the dead, and that of the living. Xanthe possesses the ability to
burn items folded from ceremonial joss paper and turn them into
real objects that can be used in the physical world. Their
super power is based on the East Asian custom of burning joss paper
at gravesites to send resources to ancestors in the spirit world.
Their weapon of choice is a large broadsword (because who doesn’t
love a big sword when you can choose to use a big
sword?!).  The adventure begins as Xanthe forms a
reluctant alliance with DC’s bad boy of the mystic arts, John
Constantine, to rescue Batgirl Cassandra Cain from a horde of
jiangshi (Chinese hopping vampires).Who knows what other spirits
they’ll find in the Spirit World—like that skateboarding boy
wearing hanfu with some headphones and a gaping hole in his chest?!
Spirit World is written by beloved comics and sci-fi author Alyssa
Wong, and beautifully illustrated by Haining! Get on board an
unforgettable journey with one of comics’ most compelling new
characters! This volume collects Spirit World #1-6.
