The Shadow Annual 2013 is not essential reading by any concrete notion, but I do find it rather easy to claim that it's truly excellent nonetheless. Recommended. Read Full Review
This was supposed to be a heartbreaking tale of loss, betrayal, and vengeance, set against the neon of Sin City as per the description given for this book, but it didn't quite deliver on this. Not perfect, but still gives you what you want from The Shadow as a hero. The story is gritty, mature, and his presence is always known when he takes the stage. Like any other annual it still manages to stand on its own and has a story which is character-driven. In the end it's fun if you are a fan of The Shadow, can't ask for anything more. Read Full Review
The story was a very well-crafted one-shot tale which was certainly an enjoyable read on its own. Admittedly though, these annual issues dont necessarily provide any new plot development to the ongoing series, nor do they really attempt to cover any new ground in terms of story-telling. This isnt a flaw in the creative team; it is simply the nature of writing a standalone story involving a proto-typical action hero in his standard setting. The visuals are relatively mediocre, but they get the job done. The Shadow Annual 2013 may not break any new ground or dazzle readers with its seemingly rushed illustrations, but if youre a fan of the character, this is at least a well-written story that provides a fun read.
