Shadowhawk Volume Three #3

In "When Comes a Shadow," Jim Valentino crafts a poignant, character-driven chapter in the Shadowhawk saga, exploring Paul’s past through a raw, personal reflection on his struggle with AIDS and how it shaped his path as a vigilante. The story unfolds with Shadowhawk stepping into a clash between Dedline and the Regulators, then shifting focus when Vortex learns her child has been taken to the sewers by the Underlord—prompting Shadowhawk to put aside old grudges and act. With bold visuals by Valentino and Brad W. Foster, and a striking cover by Valentino and Randy Queen, this 1994 Image Comics issue blends emotional depth with high-stakes action.
