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.

Get on board an unforgettable journey with one of comics most compelling new characters! This volume collects Spirit World #1-6.
