The Red Death has sprung a dangerous trap, scattering our masked heroes through time. From the prehistoric era to the post-apocalyptic future, the Shadow, Green Hornet, Peter Cannon, Miss Fury, and others face dinosaurs, murderous masqueraders, and mutants! Along the way, they uncover the terrible truth about the Red Death.
While this installment didn't knock my socks off, it's fun to see this cast split as they are and having to deal with different adventures in order to survive. Each of the areas are both familiar but different from what you'd expect, providing for some nice tweaks to keep you on your toes. What mostly sells this though is just the interactions and humor between some of the characters as it goes on. They spend most of their time trying to figure out where they are and then discovering they're not alone, so it's a familiar dialogue/fight/dialogue kind of setup. But it works and it has its charms that ties it together well, leaving you curious to see how they'll actually get out of it since someone has to have a trick up their sleeves. Read Full Review

We finally get some action in this issue, still not sure where it's going and I'm not sure what to make of the last panel, but we shall see.
