  The Shadow #3, by Garth Ennis and Aaron Campbell, continues to only allude to the fact that one of its major villains, one General Saburo Akamutsu, is also a casual pedophile, whose appetites are catered to by his evil criminal mastermind partner Kondo. Thankfully, this is a Garth Ennis book about a guy who kills criminals, so the odds are good that we'll get a very satisfying murder-in-the-face of this guy, and with any luck, the newly introduced stinkbag Buffalo Wong will be involved as well. Overall, this series is a cool bit of World War II era intrigue, where the smooth, affable and erudite Lamont Cranston amuses himself with the manipulation of his dull-witted American handler one moment, and then righteously murders the wicked in the next with highfalutin declarations of justice being served. Campbell's art is decent enough, but nothing too special. Read Full Review
