Can Loma escape by hiding out in Honey's body, or will that just mean Honey goes with Megan's body to a Metan jail? Plus, learn the fates of Lepuck, River, and Teacup in the brain-melting conclusion of our first story arc.

Crazy, wonderful, and beautiful... also, frustrating and ugly. The perfect way to put this year-long psychedelic adventure to bed for a little while. A satisfying pseudo-resolution for those of us who have followed since day one. Don't stay gone too long, Shade... the world needs your madness! Read Full Review
Death and rebirth: it's doesn't get more beautiful and poetic than that.Shade the Changing Girl#12 explores these universal themes through the insights and character arcs crafted by Cecil Castellucci; the clean, yet bad dream-like art of Marley Zarcone and Ande Parks, and Kelly Fitzpatrick's kaleidoscope rainbow color palette. It also sets up a newly whole Shade the Changing Girl for more adventures as a human girl. Read Full Review
Another great issue...this has been my favourite of the Young Animal line, and this issue perfectly wraps up the first year of story; the major plotlines are wrapped here, Shade's goodby with Lepuck is sufficiently moving, and we are ready to move with Shade to many more outlandish, mind-tripping adventures. I'm hoping that DC is patient with their Young Animal line, because they have a special title here as written and drawn by Castellucci and Zarcone.
