    This is an issue that really makes the reader think. It maintains that off-beat feel, while managing to say something deep and relevant to everyday life. Not many comics get to do that. You not only think. You feel it, as well. Read Full Review

    "Shade, the Changing Girl" #9 is another excellent issue in this series and I'm really eager to see where else Megan/Loma goes in her journey across the world. She's got so much to learn and so much to see and because this is this series, it will be imaginative with a very unique perspective. Read Full Review

    Heartbreaking and beautiful at the start, with a nice amount of story progression throughout.  This story feels like it's happening on several fronts, all of which receive just the right amount of "screen time".  All told, another wonderful issue of Shade. Read Full Review

    The subplots with her friends back home, and the pursuit of her by the authorities on Meta, both continue, but are very much secondary in this issue. Thats fine. Its really well balanced, giving one a complete story within a larger story within the larger overall framework. Read Full Review

    This was a good issue, about music and what it means, and how it feels to watch the bands we love get older, and grow old ourselves. Pretty much a standalone issue, this is a good example of Shade's appeal.
