Please tell me this ain't so

NO!  I really hope this is someone trying to pull one over on Batman and not The Shadow.  Hate, HAte, HATe, HATE this costume.  I have to believe it is something that Dynamite is pushing and not DC.  Could be wrong, though.  This really brought me down even though the story was already not thrilling me.

The Death Triangle

More yellow!  At least it is a graphic element and not just a giant yellow wall.  Agent T informs me that this is the portrait of The Shadow that Jim Steranko based his 70's era "The Living Shadow" cover on.  Quite a nice image even if the story was a bit on the "meh" side.

Batman/The Shadow #1

I know I said I was excited about this series, especially with Snyder writing it.  I love the Time Sale cover but once I got into the story I was less thrilled.  The art is probably an acquired taste but often I can overlook that if I'm not expecting much.

Everyone knows I'm not a fan of the scarf but can live with it as long as it serves a purpose.  This (above image) is just silly, in my opinion.  However, if they had stuck with this I would have written it off as my being an old fuddy duddy and to get over the fact that this ain't Gibson's Dark Eagle.  If only...  Tomorrow I'll show y'all what really irks me.

Last clew for the week

Partners of Peril

One of the best covers.  The stark white background really pops the dynamic figure of The Shadow with his smokewagons blazing away.  Great cover to grace the first of 27 tales by Theodore Tinsley, the author who could best be called The Shadow's shadow.

OK, this is all that I can give you

Answer tomorrow.

Classic cover so the clew is...

... well, non-specific.
