About this Collection

This collection brings together the 2012-2013 miniseries spotlighting the Shade, the enigmatic and centuries-old master of shadow from the DC Universe. Written by James Robinson with art by Cully Hamner and others, the story delves into the character's mysterious past and his reluctant return to a life of danger.

In "Birthday," writer James Robinson and artist Cully Hamner deliver a haunting, character-driven tale as the Shade—haunted by the anniversary of his own creation in October—considers a change of pace after taking Hope’s advice. Before he can begin his journey, Deathstroke arrives with chilling precision, leaving the Shade’s fate hanging in the balance. Cover by Tony Harris captures the moment’s tension with stark, evocative detail.
