The Shadow/Batman #5

The penultimate issue serves as a shocking journey into the mind of a broken man haunted by his numerous failures and is easily one of the most intense and engaging reads of 2018. Read Full Review

Check out The Shadow/Batman if youve got the time. Probably dont start at issue #5, but definitely check out the series. Read Full Review

All in all, The Shadow/Batman #5 did more place setting. Hopefully, readers will get the pay off soon. Read Full Review

The Shadow/ Batman #5 doesn't have the flare of previous issues, but it's not void of worthwhile content. Orlando and Timpano slow down their narrative to focus on the characters and their mental state before racing to a climax in next month's finale. Yes, the story takes a breath in this chapter, but it only solidifies and increases my expectations for what's to come! Read Full Review

The unevenness of this series continues and, although this issue ends very strongly, it drags for significant portions and features a Batman who is curiously uninvolved in much of the action. Always dynamic, Timpano's art is, at times, extremely powerful and none more so than in the final few pages. While by no means a classic, this is decent, solid story-telling that delivers a dramatic punch at the end that guarantees that this reviewer, at least, is looking forward to the final issue.

This story started off extremely strong, and while I do feel that they have had some trouble executing some of the more interesting ideas in the book, the series still has my attention, and I'm looking forward to the last issue and seeing how this story ends. Read Full Review
