Book Of Shadows #2 Review: Evensong

 

Book Of Shadows #2 Cover C by Travis Escarfullery

 

A reading from St Cullen's Book Of Shadows: Chapter 2, Page 1.

 

Let us remember the rich history of Shadowman. How he battled a Book more deadly than forged blade, and how we felt that battle, thanks to the Letterer's visceral sound effects.

 

Let us remember how Punk Mambo summoned her power amidst the smoky field of arising demons, thanks to the Colorist's brilliant palette.

How a band of Earth's bravest heroes fought Exarch Fane through force of might, power, and witty banter, thanks to an erudite Author.

How, evoked by a skilled Penciler and Inker, our heroes pushed Exarch Fane back, time and again.

 

And how they did not lose hope, when Fane summoned even more hellish forces. 

Let us remember how each seasoned hero rose to meet the evils they faced.

How Shadowman protected his teammates, and kept them focused.

How we learned more of Gilad Anni-Padda's previous encounter with Exarch Fane, and why we herald him the Eternal Warrior.

Celebrate then this moment, when valiant heroes defied a villain intent on Earth's destruction.

Honor their sacrifice with an offering to your local comic shop, and cherish your copy of Book Of Shadows #2. 

Amen.

Here endeth the lesson.
