After her homeworld was destroyed, Shade became a refugee on Meta, where her family was deemed unfit to raise her. Then two decades later, she was taken by Madness to Earth, where she was placed in another's body and lived out the consequences of a life she never lived.

I don't know where this comic is going. I don't know how it will end. I don't know if I'll even be able to explain it to someone when it's wrapped up. But I do know I'll be thoroughly enthralled when it happens. Read Full Review

And a quick P.S.- Read Shade the Changing Man, whether you like Shade the Changing Woman or not, it has a similar madness with a different soul- the soul of Rac Shade.

As the end looms near, Shade finally decides to get her rear-in-gear and quit it with the pretentious platitudes. The art, which is fantastic, will likely have to carry this one across the finish line. Read Full Review
