If you’re into stories with talking trucks, snide demons, cursed gadgets, sarcastic sidekicks—so many sarcastic sidekicks—rampaging gorgonopsids, haunted mesas, and cabbages with subversive agendas, you’ll probably survive her books.

Fair warning: do NOT shake a stick at Cthulhu, especially if you value your immortal soul.

Take the mystical abilities of the Shadow, the physical strength of Doc Savage and the bloodlust of the Spider. Mix them with a couple of writers who understand the appeal of the Pulp Heroes and you have the Shadowhawke.
Carlyle Tenebra was crippled in the final days of WWI and traveled the world to find a way to walk again. He did in the magic of the Australian Outback and then returned to his city to clean it of crime.
This is more than a simple pastiche of the old pulp magazines. The writers put together a hero who could easily have appeared then and make him very relatable.

A very nice neo-pulp, about a vigilante much like The Shadow, who opposes The Spider Lady, queen of the New York underworld.
There are some major differences that make this character very much unique.
A very entertaining story. I hope the series somehow finds a way to continue.
