review:
'The Shadow Volume 3' may be a volume 3, but it tells a complete and standalone story of the Shadow, collecting issues 13 through 18 of the newer rebooted series. It has gorgeous Alex Ross covers, too.
A mysterious woman known as 'The Light' is going around town and punishing people for their purported sins. After a string of these, The Shadow gets involved. In one instance, a victim is killed in a hospital even though there is a police guard protecting him. Driven by religious fervor, The Light is expunging what she views as evil from the world with her swords. The Shadow sees this as punishment before a crime is committed, so this makes a nice contrast between vigilantes. The usual crew is involved in assisting The Shadow.
The story by Chris Roberson is good, the art by Giovanni Timpano is really good, and the covers by Alex Ross need no further compliments (they're his usual excellent work). The graphic novel includes a gallery of alternate covers. Good for fans of classic pulp fiction and shadowy crime fighters.
I was given a review by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
