Exactly who the Shadow might be- or who he once was- is the subject of some grim speculation by Taro Kondo and Buffalo Wong, but the answer may be closer than either suspects. Meanwhile, Cranston and Margo come face to face with the full horror of the Japanese occupation... and on the River Yangtze, a deadly ambush awaits the unwary.
This issue is basically a set up issue for what's to come. It's moving characters and events into place for the real action, but it does so in a way that's still dynamic and interesting. We're given more information on Cranston and his alter ego, and in general the character work is excellent. There isn't really any action here, but it's still quite fun to read. Read Full Review
The Shadow is a series that may be better read in trade form, but it's only four issues in - you shouldn't have a hard time hunting down the previous three, and I would recommend that you do. Read Full Review
