In "Birthday," James Robinson and Cully Hamner launch a striking new chapter for the Shade, exploring his introspective nature as he grapples with the anniversary of his creation in October. When he heeds Hope’s suggestion to seek adventure, his plans are abruptly cut short by a chilling encounter with Deathstroke—leaving his fate uncertain. Tony Harris’s cover captures the issue’s moody intensity, while the interior art by Hamner and McCaig brings a haunting, atmospheric edge to the story.
