The Shadow Now #4 is an exceptional entry that has me excited for the future. Highly recommended. Read Full Review
In general this issue was all about putting the pieces into place, and then waiting to put them into play. This is a carefully constructed storyline which creates so much suspense as you wait for one side to do something bold. Neither Shiwan, Batu, The Shadow or Margo have any room for error or mistake and that much David Liss puts emphasis on as everyone is asking the same question, what's next? A question which is why this is the book that you want to be reading if you are a long time or new fan of The Shadow. Read Full Review
The Shadow Now proves that the titular hero still has a place in the modern world, but things just seem to be moving a little slow. Lamont has planned and maneuvered for four issues, so hopefully the traps are sprung and the battle truly begins in the final issues. Read Full Review
