Shadowman #4: The Red Man, the Pterodactyl Rider & the Magic Tree

 

Cover by Frank Miller


Continuing with my Unity reread...
 
This issue draws you in right away, with a beautiful one-page scene of Shadowman watching cops let an abusive spouse off with just a warning. After showing what motivates Jack to use his powers, a man trained by a geomancer leads him to a special tree, which opens a doorway to the world of Unity. There Shadowman feels strangely compelled to follow "the red guy" (Solar, Man of the Atom). Packed with art that compares favorably with anything published today & an action-packed, involving story, it's a standout issue with great characters and plot twists. It's definitely my new favorite Unity read so far!
