The Shadow #23

/ / Comics

The Shadow #23After traveling around the world for answers to the severed finger sent to him, The Shadow returns to New York to find the old acquaintance whose plan to use the ring to impersonate his former colleague and create a new power base in the United States has backfired.

Presented almost entirely from the White Tiger’s point of view, The Shadow #23 fills in the gaps to the man’s story including taking the gem from the jungles of Guatamala, the series of events that lead him to losing one of his fingers while attempting to assume the role of the Girasol, and his attempts to crawl from poverty once more.

The end of the issue wraps up the arc as The Shadow finally tracks down the the White Tiger (which he really didn’t need to leave New York to do), and provides his own brutal justice for the man’s crimes. For fans.

“Time travel is Pandora’s Box.”

Continuum - Minute by Minute

And you thought things were complicated before. Season Three begins with Kiera (Rachel Nichols) imprisoned by the Freelancers and Alec (Erik Knudsen) successfully travelling one week into the past in hopes of preventing Emily‘s (Magda Apanowicz) death. Given the unique situation the leader of the Freelancers (Rachael Crawford) offers Kiera a truce, explaining that the self-appointed “guardians of history” are not time travelers themselves, although they are descended from one who started their order more than 1,ooo years ago.

Fables #139

/ / Comics

Fables #139The beginning of the end starts here. Picking up on Bill Willingham’s announcement that Fables will end with issue #150, the first part of a two-issue arc begins to put events in motion with the arrival of Danny Boy to the Farm and his mission to convince Seamus to return home with him to save Scotland from the evil Baoban Sith. Unwilling to let their band mate go alone, Peter Piper, Joe Shepherd, Puss in Boots, and Briar Rose all decide to accompany the pair to Scotland.

Much of the issue centers on the odd crew’s travels. Their eventual arrival isn’t as warm as they might like as the group walks right into a battle between demon dogs and giants which, apparently, costs one of the Fables their lives.

With nearly all of this issue being set-up there’s an awful lot for next month’s issue to get through. I’m also disappointed that the most interesting character of the group is the one who meets his downfall so early in the adventure. Worth a look.
