The Shadow Now

Having spent decades in the east to rejuvenate himself, the greatest pulphero of them all, The Shadow, returns to New York in modern times. LamontCranston seeks to resume his old life, and his heroic alter-ego is ready tostand once more as an enemy to evil. But while he slept, his foes have remainedvigilant, and the most dangerous man that The Shadow has ever faced prepares torise once more... with his wicked progeny by his side! It's the shockingbeginning to a new era for the Shadow! David Liss Writer Commentary: "The Shadow is, without doubt, one of thecoolest pulp characters of all time, so I was thrilled to get a chance to addsomething to the legend. While we are working within the long and storiedtradition of Shadow adventures, I think we're also doing something original withthis character, and that's always a great combination. (Colton Worley's) art isstunning, and a perfect fit for our neo-pulp tone. This story is dark and moody,which I think a Shadow story should be, but I think we're also portraying a veryhuman and fallible version of the man behind the mask. Fans who have followedThe Shadow in comics over the years are going to be very interested to see howwe run with what's come before this."
