Zadie Lu is afraid of her own shadow. She’s a teenager, so she REALLY should have grown out of it by now, right? But something weird is happening in her small town. Zadie could swear the shadows are coming to life. Watching her. Trying to KILL her. But how do you fight something you can’t even touch? And how does all of this tie into her FAMILY, of all things?From the creative team that brought you the Eisner-nominated SKYWARD, writer JOE HENDERSON (showrunner of Netflix’s Lucifer) and artist LEE GARBETT (Captain Marvel). Join Zadie Lu as she ventures into the shadows to face her fears and discovers a legacy she never knew she had.
When you assume you’ll be cancelled if you take too long to create a character, so you just skip all context and condense an entire storyline into one hollow issue. Zero character development. A “reveal” that should have been built up and delivered in issue #5.
Pretty solid art and an interesting concept, with zero substance. It’s as if they took the bullet points for the whole story arc and just used that for the text. Seriously disappointing.
So far, this new wave of Image books:
Good:
Nocterra (good all around)
(Haven’t read Geiger, but am encouraged by other reviews)
Bad:
Radiant Black (bad story meets bad idea)
Terrible:
Shadecraft
Of course, these are simply opinions. You may feel otherwise.
