"Do not look for sanctuary in anyone except yourself." - Buddha
Mei Yin is a warrior from a secret Shaolin Temple. A temple that teaches kung fu only to women. She has been sent to Los Angeles to continue their mission. But her dark past has her questioning her worthiness. Will this prevent her from carrying out her mission to defend the helpless? Find out in the pages of "The Shaolin Nun!"
Our first six-part story, The First Precept, introduces us to the Shaolin Nun, Mei Yin, and her disciple, Heather Turner, as they protect a kidnapped Chinese girl from a human trafficking ring.
Written by a 30-year martial arts practitioner and drawn by two members of the inaugural Milestone Initiative! Meet our entire creative team below.
