Superior story and art make this Shadow story stellar! Read Full Review
Things are reaching a boiling point in The Shadow Now #5 and what comes next will be that final showdown that we have waited for since the start of this book. Makes you almost wish this were an ongoing series considering that this is the kind of confrontation that you want from a hero and villain. One that goes beyond punching, and looks to actual tactics to claim victory. David Liss has made this a modern telling of The Shadow's story, but keeps everything that makes this pulp for those who are longtime fans of the character. Read Full Review
