Okay, let's start a looooong journey with Matt Wagner's "The Shadow: Year One". This is a ten issue series that does a pretty decent job of working out the earliest adventure of The Shadow with one glaring error. Yep, he works Margo Lane in right from the beginning. Oh, and that damned scarf! Both of these are conceits to a modern, casual audience. Still, this is an enjoyable re-imagining of our hero and his assembling of his army of agents and also how his tales came to be recorded and disseminated to an eager post war, Depression era public. Wonderfully clean art by Wilfredo Torres and colors by Brennan Wagner and, in this case, covers by Alex Ross. I hope you enjoy this epic trek with me.
