Masakazu Katsura's Shadow Lady #14

In "The Awakening Part 2: The Quickening," Aimi takes a dangerous gamble to track down the Demon Stones, disguising herself as a vulnerable target in the night. When a demonic figure attacks, her plan hits a wall—she can't transform into Shadow Lady without exposing her secret. Just as the tension mounts, Spark Girl arrives, adding new complications to an already volatile situation. Written by Masakazu Katsura, Hisashi Kotobuki, and Toren Smith, with art and inks by Katsura, and a cover by Katsura, this 1999 Dark Horse issue delivers high-stakes suspense in a sleek, moody package.
