He knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men... but who knows what lurks in the heart of The Shadow? Find out, in the first issue of this mind-blowing four-part storyline entitled "Shadow of a Doubt", as the Master of Men takes a fateful step into that wondrous land bounded only by imagination: an area which we call... The Twilight Zone.
The tale is one that explores the complexity of identity and reality. It's a genius play to have The Shadow act within the bounds of The Twilight Zone, considering The Shadow is just as much a mystery as is a classic episode of the 1950s-60s show. I'm intrigued by the story, the action, and the characters but what will keep this series engaging to a modern audience is the twist pulled into the fray with the inclusion of The Twilight Zone. If the next few issues are as good as this one then I can confidently say that writer David Avallone and artist Dave Acosta have an old-fashioned winner on their hands. Read Full Review
Avallone and Acosta have picked up a daunting challenge.They have four issues to demonstrate that they are up to that challenge.Although it is too early to know for sure (this is a 4-issue miniseries; ask after the end of issue #4), it's looking good so far. Read Full Review
The noir influenced art style manages to blend in oddly well into the natural strangeness of the twilight zone. I will admit I loved the beginning action scene as the fire fight begins. Even the small fight at the end, is well done with a strange amount of meta content. Read Full Review
I'm interested to see where this is going, and if you like either of these properties, or think that you might, this comic may be for you. Read Full Review
By the end of this issue another enemy appears with the same question. Who is the Shadow? A fight ensues, but is any of this real? To be continued" All in all, it is a very satisfying read and I am eager to see where the next issue leads us. Is our hero turning to the dark side ala Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader? We'll have to wait and see. Read Full Review
It's a wonderful start to what promises to be a very compelling mini-series. Just don't expect The Twilight Zone: The Shadow to go easy on you. Read Full Review
I am a Shadow fan and as such, I enjoyed the "world is not as it was" element of this book. With so much of The Shadow's world being about mysticism I am a little unsure of the need to incorporate The Twilight Zone element to act as the deus ex machina. Still, with a piece of Shadow history about to make an appearance next issue, my curiosity has definitely been piqued. Read Full Review
The last page of the issue is intriguing, but not enough for me to continue with this series. Whatever The Shadow knows will have to be discovered without me (unless the second issue steps it up considerably). Read Full Review
