Storm Shadow #4

Storm Shadow #4 (2007) delivers a tense showdown as Pale Peony confronts Storm Shadow atop the water tower of his old dojo, where Morning Light remains trapped. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Mark A. Robinson, with colors by Renato Faccini and letters by Brian J. Crowley, the issue builds toward a revelation when Tiff overpowers the Oligarch and exposes her true motives—she orchestrated the conflict to propose an alliance. Cover by Sean Murphy captures the intensity of the moment, as secrets unravel and Zartan, revealed in a shocking twist, confronts Storm Shadow over the sword’s true origin.
