![]() The book doesn’t appear to be marketed that way, but it feels like it nonetheless.įinally, there are some substantial holes in logic and plot that, never mind a truck, an aircraft carrier could cruise through with ample room to spare. And let me tell you, their conception is FAR inferior to Walter Gibson’s creation.įurther, the book reads like a YA novel, with most of the narrative driven by a teen protagonist. Patterson and Sitts pitched nearly a century of amassed continuity out the window by having the pulp magazines and radio show exist in the same world as the actual character, so the character can dismiss them as nonsense and thus the authors have a free hand to make The Shadow whatever they want. To summarize without spoiling, I’ll say that the biggest problem is that this is NOT The Shadow. I hoped this book would herald a new golden age for the character. ![]() I really, really wanted to like this book, because I’ve been a huge fan of The Shadow since I was a kid and found recordings of the radio show and read the DC comics. ![]() I’m not going into details, because the book isn’t out yet (I read an electronic uncorrected proof), but jeez, y’all. ![]()
