Shadow Lady #2

Dark Horse, b&w, $2.50
rating: Neat-O
Whoops. Looks like I spoke too soon about Shadow Lady. Without a doubt issue number two is much goofier, much more energetic, and much more fun than the first. The art is still probably one of the big draws for the book, but the story is finally showing promise of being more than an excuse for the art. This issue introduces several new characters, including the head of the Police Anti-Shadow Lady Squad, and a new detective on the squad (and possible love interest for Aimi, Shadow Lady's painfully shy alter-ego).
