Chris Roberson returns The Shadow to his noirish roots. The villain here is The Shadow's opposite. She's obsessed with murdering sinners while The Shadow's mission is to end criminals. The Light is the day to The Shadow's night. Roberson also uses Margo Lane as more than just Lamont Cranston's mistress which is all she was portrayed as in the first 2 arcs. She becomes the Watson to his Sherlock tracking down leads. Timpano's art was solid, although it looked a little too shiny and CGI in places.

A worthy foil, something all to rare in pulp lore.

Third Time is the Charm
This is not a reprint of some earlier Shadow volumes. Rather, it represents the reboot of the franchise, licensed by Dynamite Entertainment from Conde Nast in 2011. So, you have new writers and new illustrators, and a new vision of who and what The Shadow is.
There are now three TP collections, of which this is the third. Volume 1 was written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Alex Ross, (cover), and Aaron Campbell.. I thought it was a little clunky and not terribly inspiring. Volume 2 was written by Victor Gischler and also got mixed reviews as the Shadow character just seemed to be very hard to capture, in print, to everyone's satisfaction.
Well now we have the third iteration, (issues #13-18), this time written by Chris Roberson and drawn by Giovanni Timpano. I am happy to report that this one really does seem to hit the mark.
If you are a Shadow purist, you will probably be torn between happiness that the Shadow is back at all, and unhappiness over some aspects of his return. There has been a lot of global gallavanting, a little too much playboy action, and a drift away from the Shadow's "mystery". Well, not so here. We are in New York City. The era is right. Cranston is refined but distant. He retains his mystery. He's always been sharp featured, and so I don't at all mind that sometimes he looks a lot like Basil Rathbone. Margo Lane has some personality and oomph and her relationship with Cranston is a nice balance of hot and cold. This version is elegant and atmospheric, but fast paced and focused. There is an undercurrent of dark humor, especially in scenes between Cranston and Margo Lane, but it is consistent with the overall feel of the story and doesn't seem grafted on.
The story makes sense and has a strong narrative drive. There is an actual mystery and Cranston follows clues and develops leads. He mixes it up with bad guys, but this isn't all fighting and it has an old-fashioned feel, (I mean that in a good way).
The drawing is a challenge, because so much happens at night. Timpano has done a very good job of getting the night scenes dark and foreboding while still allowing the reader to actually distinguish what's going on.
So, on balance this seems to be a solid effort that brings The Shadow into focus and honors his iconic status. Worth a look.
Please note that I received a free advance ecopy of this book in exchange for a candid review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to the author or the publisher of this book.

I have been immensely enjoy “The Shadow” that have been printed by Dynamite Entertainment of this classic pulp hero. For those that might not be aware the Shadow was a radio show character that was big in the 1930s. I’m glad younger generations got to enjoy the Shadow in this recent comic book series. This is volume three of the series and it collects issues 13 through 18. Like all the other four volumes in this series it was a delightful read! In fact I wished they continued publishing more of these stories.
I enjoyed how this story takes place in the 1930s or late 1920s. The illustrations and color of the artwork gives us a good feel of the “times.” This include a noir mystery crime feel with the story, the elegance of the rich of that era but also the gritty feel of New York ports and religious hospitals for the poor. I also relished the stories taking place with New York skyscrapers that was appearing during those decades.
Concerning the story line there is a mysterious murderer that has been making the headlines in New York. She appears to be a mystical blade-wielding woman known only as "The Light." With her dramatic introduction in the beginning of the book and later throughout the story readers discover that whoever or whatever she is, she is similar to The Shadow in so many ways. With a bent of the supernatural and even a sense of justice (though twisted) she goes around murdering those whom she declares as sinful and falling under the judgment of God. Local law enforcement is unable to properly investigate and even stop her, even when they post officers in front of the hospital doors guarding one of the surviving witness of the Light. Yet the pressure is on to stop the next murder taking place. So it is now up to the Shadow and his network of agents to investigate and stop her.
I also enjoyed the flashback to the past before the main story happened. It helps us understand the characters and their motivation. It makes the characters more interesting.
As with other volumes of the Shadow the authors and illustrators also did a good job of not just only looking at mainstream America but also the angles of the poor, immigrants in America whether from Europe and even Chinatown! Also there’s always a flavor of the Orient and Old Continental Europe.
A fun story though at times it is dark. I appreciate it the most for the historical dimension of the story. I also wish there were more mystery graphic novels like this one.

More reviews (and no fluff) on the blog http://surrealtalvi.wordpress.com/
The Shadow Volume 3 collects issues 13-18 of the comic series and features a complete story arc. The artwork and story continues to impress as the authors and artists treat the character with respect but stay true to the original 1930s pulp novels. This is true adult work that is a satisfying read and suitable for multiple viewings.
A string of mysterious deaths haunt New York as a woman known only as "The Light" pursues a goal of purification of the sinners in the city. The antithesis to the shadow, she has trained carefully all her life and uses light as skillfully a weapon as the Shadow uses the dark. But where his weapons are his guns, hers are blades. She is lightning fast and more than a foil for the Shadow. He will have to use all his powers to fight a foe who also seeks to uncover the evil in mean's hearts - but with murderous intent.
I was very impressed with the idea of a perfect foil for the Shadow - the opposite side of the same coin. The author clearly thought through the villain and she was given generous space to create her backstory. The plot flows smoothly and the artwork is appropriate for the era and for the character.
Kudos really go to Roberson and Timpano for making this character live again. He's so much fun to read and different from a lot of the current 'superheroes'. I also really enjoy the 1930s milieu and what it brings to the story. I eagerly look forward to every volume.
Received as an ARC from the publisher.

September 24, 2015An underwhelming outing for the greatest of nocturnal vigilantes (yeah, you heard me, Brucikins). The initial idea is sound - the Shadow, who deals with crime, up against a proper nutjob who kills the merely sinful. Alas, that's drowned in will-this-do? writing (not least the cringeworthy Shadow versus Light motif) and erratic likenesses; Cranston spends half the time looking suitably Jeremy Brett, but in other panels is far too snub-nosed and solid.
August 3, 2018
I had just read Garth Ennis' take on the Shadow from this same series and I have to say this one pales in comparison. While the idea for the villain is a natural one (a force of light) the execution doesn't lead to much drama or a very interesting story. It is a nun who wants anyone who sins to die. If you drink too much, have sex too much or eat too much (any of the deadly sins) she will kill you. This makes little sense since she would be killing off 80% or more of everyone she meet in the US. Her power to be really bright is not utilized very well and The Shadow when he finally fights her face to scarf doesn't seem to have much of a challenge. The art is nice but ultimately both the Shadow and the villain are not written with any drama or inventiveness so the book fails at entertaining. Not horrible but very boring.

Whilst I enjoy the take this series has with a story per volume, there is never an overarching plot and now we are 3 volumes in, it feels hollow as a series. It just feels like a collection of one shots without any connection. Like the one consistant thing with this is Margo and the Shadows relationship but nothing ever develops aside from them dating.
I did like this though, the religious killer in white was a great contrast to the Shadow being the hero of darkness. Them putting their morals in perspective was great, it's just a shame the woman in white was so closed minded, as it would have lead to some really compelling stuff. The murder mystery was fun, be it very easy to tell who the killer was but another fun volume nonetheless.

May 4, 2021Honestly, I only read this because I thought the cover was neat. I'm way more used to the pulp version of The Shadow, which made this kind of amusing.
comics!Shadow: *argues good and evil with a nun during a prolonged sword battle*
pulps!Shadow: *just frickin' shoots her*

This was really cool for me to read. Is evil in thoughts or deeds? That question gets a real physical workout between The Shadow and the Light. Lots of action. Lots for me to think about. What more could I ask for?
December 27, 2018
Pretty solid volume with a focus on a mysterious figure in white killing people. It’s fairly simplistic and obvious (shadow vs light) but it’s still well done and worth checking out for fans.

Light but entertaining. And the coloring is amazing!

The Shadow Vol. 3: the Light of the World is a story that focuses on the power of one woman's belief that she is doing the right thing by killing people. Her religious background has made her look at anyone that falls into the trap of abusing any of the seven deadly sins: as wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony, as evil and needs to be killed. She acts as judge, jury, and executioner, not given the accused a chance to defend themselves. After the fourth murder in as many days, the Shadow gets involved in hunting this mysterious mass murdered down.
I will plainly admit that what I knew about the Shadow, before reading this book, could have fit neatly tucked into a foil gum wrapper. In other words, it wasn't much. My father used to mention him every once in a while when he talked about old radio shows, which is how I knew the Shadow's radio slogan. When I picked up this graphic novel written by Chris Robertson, I found myself plunged into a 1930's murder mystery that also had a dash of the occult. I found that I quite enjoyed the story and liked the hero of the book. The story moves along a good pace and it kept me flipping pages until I finished the book in one sitting. I had a hard time putting it down and was almost late for work, running all over the house this morning like a madman getting ready. It was wonderfully entertaining and I just had to know how it would end.
The artwork by Giovanni Timpano is first-rate and fits the feel of a old-time comic strip from the early part of the last century. I also enjoyed the coloring in the book, as most of the colors used are kind of muted, giving a dirty and gritty feeling to the tale. I think these types of colors are used in old-time stories because movies of that era were all done in black and white, using shadows to really evoke emotions in the audience. The artwork paired with the coloring gives the reader perfect feel for the 1930's.
My only issue with the book has nothing to do with the creative team, but rather with the digitizing of the book for reviews. The compression of the book into the downloadable version via NetGalley is not very clear. I frequently found it hard to see what exactly was happening on the pages, as you can see from the image in this review on ReadingReview.com. I would ask that the compression ratio for Dynamite Entertainment graphic novels be increased so that reviewers can see the artwork better, as art comprises of fifty percent of the book. I'm sure that the version a reader will purchase will have nice and crisp images, so there is no worry for the regular reader.
Overall, The Shadow Vol. 3: the Light of the World is great story with a highly interesting main character that has been around for almost 80 years. I also enjoyed getting to know Margo Lane and some of the Shadow's agents. I think lovers of the film noir type of movies will really enjoy this graphic novel starring Lamont Cranston. It sure made me happy that I read it and now I will look for more books featuring the Shadow. This is a book that any mystery lover should pick up. Be prepared to be entertained. I found it helpful to listen to Big Band Jazz music from the 1930's and 1940's while writing the review.
I rated this book an 8½ out of 10.

So the book was not as good as I had expected. The plot was a little slow, and the dialog was cheesy. It was kind of fitting because it felt like the old radio drama. I wasn't around to listen to it live, but I have heard some of them. In this book The Shadow is after a homicidal nun who is out to dispatch her own brand of justice on the sinners of the world in hopes of saving their immortal soul. Homicidal nun did sound promising, but I guess I expected more along the lines of action. It took three quarters of the book for a really good action sequence to happen, and then it just sort of ends. Maybe I was being to picky, but I wasn't all that impressed with the action in this book.
The art work isn't to bad in this book. I was expecting some amazing scenes from Alex Ross, but was saddened when he only did the covers. I have defintly seen much worse art work, but I felt it lacked detail. The faces were not really there and felt as if I was looking at the characers down a tunnel. The other thing about the art work, that I really hope was becuase I got an advanced digital copy, was the fact that it looked blurry or smeared. I really hope that this is because of my download, but if the book comes out and looks like this, I wouldn't spend the money on it.
Overall this was pretty good. It was entertaining, and I'm glad I read it. I wish there was a little more depth to the story, and I am hopeful the art work is better than I saw. If you happen to see this in the library I might recomend picking this up to give it a read if you like the noir style comics. I will give this 3 stars becuase on Goodreads and Amazon I can't give it 2.5. This was better than a 2 star rating but I don't feel it deserves the full 3.

Who knows what evil lurks in the the hearts of men? The Shadow of course. This time The Shadow is up against a dangerous opponent. There is a serial killer on the loose and the police have no leads. All they know is that the victims are killed with swords. The killer is a mysterious woman who calls herself The Light. The Light, is killing sinners in order to free their divine soul from their corrupt flesh.
So now The Shadow must track down and stop The Light in order to end this killing spree. If you find that last sentence to be ironic then you are getting the point of the story. Nothing is as it seems. Chris Roberson is doing an excellent job as the writer of The Shadow. Bad pulp fiction is easy, but good pulp fiction is hard. Roberson writes excellent stories. The pacing is amazing. The story never slows down, but you feel like you have read a full book by the time you get to the end. I love the subtle ways that he brings images and ideas into the story. At one point you think that the story is going to revolve around another Seven Deadly Sins killer, but it's not that easy.
Roberson is able to to tell this story so effectively thanks to the amazing art work of Giovanni Timpano. Timpano does an excellent job of capturing the look and feel of the 1930s. There is a lush, rich look to the pages. This is pulp fiction art at its best. Together Roberson and Timpano have captured the feel of the classic Shadow stories while at the same time making the stories feel modern.
This is a treat for any lover of classic pulp fiction. If you love great pulp fiction then get this book and enjoy.

'The Shadow Volume 3' may be a volume 3, but it tells a complete and standalone story of the Shadow, collecting issues 13 through 18 of the newer rebooted series. It has gorgeous Alex Ross covers, too.
A mysterious woman known as 'The Light' is going around town and punishing people for their purported sins. After a string of these, The Shadow gets involved. In one instance, a victim is killed in a hospital even though there is a police guard protecting him. Driven by religious fervor, The Light is expunging what she views as evil from the world with her swords. The Shadow sees this as punishment before a crime is committed, so this makes a nice contrast between vigilantes. The usual crew is involved in assisting The Shadow.
The story by Chris Roberson is good, the art by Giovanni Timpano is really good, and the covers by Alex Ross need no further compliments (they're his usual excellent work). The graphic novel includes a gallery of alternate covers. Good for fans of classic pulp fiction and shadowy crime fighters.
I was given a review by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

The Shadow must fight The Light. The Light claims to be fighting for the redemption of human souls, but is she?
Realistic illustrations grace the pages of this volume adding great depth and authenticity to the tale and characters.
While good and bad guys in this volume try to have pure motives, which causes an unique struggle.
Without giving too much plot away, I will just say this:
Overall, a thrilling read.

Of the various Shadow books that I have read in the past year, this is the best. The Shadow was seeking to solve a crime and prevent future crimes, he was not manipulating events and people for his agenda. He acted more human. Mind you, his foil was a bit questionable in regard to motive, she seemed a bit deux du machine rather than have organic motives. The artwork was good and really helped set the mood. Enjoy for those into older style super-heroes.

This one, man.... this one. This one was so fast paced and good fun to read. Everything was just right.
Sweet, beautiful art. I have never heard of Giovanni Timpano nor I have never seen any of his comics before, but I must see more.

The Shadow gets involved in a series of strange murders where seemingly unrelated people are all killed while a strange Light Lady is seen near each scene. And the case almost deadly for the Shadow and his team. An interesting Shadow adventure.
