Another book that Dynamite was a little off on the availability date . . . this one is due out this Wednesday, May 21st (according to ComicList).

Oh, and while there are the four different versions of the cover, there's also this variant:

I love Torres' work on this!

This has been the one out of Dynamites Shadow comics that I have liked the most - also at the end of each issue I can't wait for the next - Plotting, artwork, and key ingredients of the Shadow back-story are all here - shame it has to end.

This was definitely an enjoyable issue (and series overall), but it is annoying that we have to wait two months (and hopefully not more ) for the final one.

I do wonder what the hold up is, since Torres is doing the next arc for Valiant's Quantum and Woody – his lines should be all done by now!

There could be other things, like delays / changes in the script, or even delays in Dynamite's being able to get a book printed.

Could be Dynamite taking time to work out which set of ads to put in the back 10 pages ...

I'm all caught up with this book, too bad it wasn't going until issue #12 to make it a full "YEAR ONE" like with Green Hornet (which was amazing as well). I highly enjoyed SHadow's Year One story, it has so many epic moments that really made this feel like a definitive Shadow series.
