Shadecraft #5

A young figure in a bright yellow jacket stands alone amid rubble, facing down a towering mass of living shadow — its maw open wide, tendrils of darkness coiling outward in every direction. The contrast between that single splash of warm color and the overwhelming black entity makes for a striking, almost overwhelming image from Lee Garbett. Issue five of Image's Shadecraft arrives as a strong showcase for the creative team of Henderson, Garbett, Fabela, and Bowland, whose work together captures both the vulnerability and quiet defiance at the heart of this series.
