When Shade took over Megan's body, Megan had to go somewhere - and that she did. The displaced Earthling flew across the galaxy and back, and now that she's home, Megan is pissed! It's alien invader versus teenage bully in the climactic conclusion of our first arc!
This is a wonderful conclusion to the first arc that also manages to sew the seeds for what's coming next. Oops! Hope I didn't give anything away! Castellucci and Zarcone continue to create a unique and exciting comic that is unlike anything else being published. This is a smart and emotional comic that gets more interesting with each issue.

Read Shade the Changing Girl. Read it right now. Drop your phone, your computer, your old timey-print out because you weirdly print out articles you want to read and go read Shade the Changing Girl. It is insanity and it is wonderful, and while I have mixed feelings about what goes on in this issue, it is still an overall phantasmagorical read. Read Full Review
A satisfying conclusion to Shade's opening arc. While convenience appeared to play a role, I was pleased with the story and character progression. Some long-lingering questions have been answered, and even more have been asked. Shade has over-delivered month after month, and I am excited for what's to come. Read Full Review
That was a highly entertaining conclusion to the first arc. I think with the development of the supporting cast and the role Meta seems to be building towards this will be a pleasure to read for the foreseeable future. Read Full Review
Perhaps the agents from Meta will show up and keep the action going. This book is far better when its not completely insular. Read Full Review
best book out there.
Good to see Shade starting to show control of her powers, but she's still has a loooooong way to go.
This is a good conclusion to the first arc of the story. "Shade the Changing Girl" has been an unexpected but very welcome surprise for me; I'm interested to see where the story goes next, now that Megan is not exactly gone, but probably in the background for a bit. Marley Zarcone's art has been a joy in this series, but seems a bit rushed this issue, like she had to scale things back a bit to keep up with the deadline. Regardless, it still is fun and interesting, a comic that is always near the top of my read pile when it comes out.
