Finally, the one pulling the strings in the underworld of New Orleans, the man behind the spate of ‘blood runners’ in the city, has revealed himself. Darque is here, and he wants Shadowman to serve him…

This is a pretty cool issue, tying up and progressing a lot of recently planted seeds and threads. There’s a bit too much awkward villain dialogue for my liking, but hey: this was an early 90s comic after all. It definitely falls into the then-category of comics which were trying to be mature and edgy, and a lot of it just feels a bit forced, but it’s a fun read nonetheless.

Ten issues in, and it feels like Shadowman is finding its feet at last. It’s veered between being a standard vigilante superhero comic with mild supernatural elements, to something much more overtly horror based, but it seems to be finding a bit of a middle ground and it’s much better for it.
