The art style is just astounding. Fully painted and is smooth yet vibrant. Even set in modern time Worley still makes it feel like a pulp story. On page five where the Shadow enters with his laugh, that was the highlight of this issue to me. That is something you always want to get right when dealing with The Shadow and the combined efforts of Liss and Worley made this happen. Seeing how the tone becomes so sinister and there is a mesh between red and black. The layout looks unique, and you can see the upgrade in technology using those large maps and computers. Just to point out you can even spot a “Spider” comic that one of the thugs is reading before confronted by The Shadow. Overall a great start and has a lot of potential to grab new readers. Definitely one I'd recommend for the story and art. Read Full Review

Including the interior artwork which is phenomenal! In its portrayal, design, layout and all around interpretation of David's words. I think Worley has outdone himself this time around and has set himself a new bar to live up to in terms of quality and excellence. Read Full Review

The Shadow Now #1 doesn't need to exist. But it is an interesting idea that builds off of the contained notions of the franchise in ways that inspire. Highly recommended. Read Full Review

This is a really cool book. I love the art. The detail and realism that Colton Worley puts to the page is superb and only adds to a fast paced and enjoyable story. This feels so much like a sequel to the movie that I was really excited when I saw it. A great story of The Shadow and it makes me look forward to where they take this book next. The only thing I didn't like was that there was not more story. Pick it up and then wait till next month. Read Full Review

So I like the story, but the art is a bit more of a mix. There are some stunning images, near-photographic depictions, but the storytelling is muddy in places - there are panels where I'm really not sure what's happening. Read Full Review

The world of the Shadow is nothing new, but this freshly modern take on the character provides some interesting potential new directions. How will this timeless vigilante deal with the world of modern crime? How effective will the Shadow Network remain? The inclusion of both new and classic elements was fused in a great way that worked on every level. The story thus far, as seen in The Shadow Now #1, isnt anything revolutionary for the world of pulp-action tales, but its certainly an excellent addition to the already terrific catalogue of books capturing this characters heroic exploits.

Despite that this is still a very good first issue, it establishes things pretty quickly if you haven't ever heard of the Shadow before and gets a lot of the key points of the universe laid out for new readers. Steaks are raised and introduced and the ending really leaves you psyched to see what happens next. Overall The Shadow NOW! is a very fun adventure seeing this classic character and his universe transported into the modern day, it manages to stand out uniquely from a lot of the Green Hornet comics or Captain Midnight and is buoyed by some amazing artwork. I'd say check it out, it could've been great but pretty good is nothing to sneeze at either. Read Full Review

Thanks for a good first impression by Colton Worley, The Shadow Now #1 is off to a decent start - that said, this is far from the most user-friendly book on the stands, and gets by mostly because of style points that rock-solid storytelling. If Liss can streamline his plotting and really delve into what makes Lamont Cranston such a long-lasting icon, this book might be Dynamite's new sleeper hit. Read Full Review

Liss and Worley make a formidable creative coupling for the adventures of the network and fieldwork of the Shadow. The conclusion to "The Shadow Now" #1 is gripping despite the clich of it all. Liss doesn't telegraph the final scene, but it doesn't come as an overwhelming surprise. Like the rest of the issue, it falls into place, updating the story for today while affirming that the Shadow can still, indeed, be relevant in our time. Read Full Review

Very good modernization with wonderful art! I'm in for the long haul (but one month later to save $2 digitally)
