OverallJoe Henderson has come up with a neat story idea for this book, which I continue to enjoy. I love the idea of a person's shadow being able to separate from them when they are in a coma. And also love the mystery surrounding why it has happened and how that will most likely tie into the shadows that have been attacking Zadie. Read Full Review

Shadecraft #2 focuses on the characters here and not the plot. Specifically Zadie and her brother Ricky, as the comic takes the time to build the bond between them. The breakout character here is Ricky, being a lively and fun-loving character. The best parts of the comic are his interactions with Zadie and others as a living shadow that makes him stand out. However, the story of the living shadows takes a huge back seat to the brother-sister duo and almost feels forgotten until much later. Read Full Review
