Jack Boniface has survived the mansion’s destruction, but his costume hasn’t. It’s time for Shadowman to get a new look, and with danger coming for those closest to him, it’s also time for Shadowman to get closer to finding out who Darque really is.

This is a pretty eventful issue, and though some of it doesn’t land (Darque’s ‘flying’ is an unintentionally hilarious addition, particularly his bragging about it), in other ways it’s much more effective.

Thank goodness Jack’s initial Shadowman suit has been destroyed; that thing was awful. He’s kept the stupid logo, however, but he looks much more badass as of now.

There’s genuinely high stakes here too, and at least one fairly prominent character doesn’t make it to the final page.

Speaking of which, the cliffhanger in this issue is great, and the artwork seems to have stepped up a notch throughout too.

All in all, it really does seem like Shadowman had a bit of a shaky start, but things are much better as of the last couple of issues.
