About Christopher Shy

Christopher Shy was a comics artist.

Christopher Shy, also known by the pen name "Ronin", With George Vasilakos, Shy conceived the zombie RPG All Flesh Must Be Eaten. His graphic novel Pathfinder is an adaptation of the 2007 film of the same name. He also provided the art for Ascend, which has a web version called Ascend: Divination.

2007-2013 In 2007, Shy and Studio Ronin released Silent Leaves: The Last Bondsmen and Silent Leaves: Exceptions To Life, the first two installments of a four-part graphic novel series. Both books were written and drawn by Shy. In 2008, Shy was the conceptual designer for the 2009 remake of Friday the 13th, directed by Marcus Nispel. This marks Shy's second film with the director, Pathfinder being the first. In 2009, Shy illustrated the graphic novel versions of Call of Duty and Frost Road, both written and directed Keith Arem. He also illustrated Soul Stealer with Michael Easton, followed by Soul Stealer: Blood and Rain. Shy did the art for the graphic novel Rise of the Warrior, a prequel story for the 2013 PlayStation 3 video game, God of War: Ascension. The graphic novel only ran on GodofWar.com, from October 22, 2012, to March 19, 2013.

Reception In a review of Ascend, Publishers Weekly opined that "Shy's artwork for this quasi-religious melodrama is state of the art and then some". In its review of Pathfinder, Booklist wrote that "Shy's artwork adds a dreamlike quality to Kalogridis' telling, blurring the symbolism and tempering the violence by veiling the details in a dark, smoky palette." His art for Pathfinder was described as "amazing" by critic Derrik Quenzer in The Oregonian.
