Now this comic understands what makes the Shadow so good. We don't get to see him outside his guise, see him talk the ear off his agents, hear his own thoughts - instead the focus is on his agents and on the crooks, as it always should be. He even gets to don a bunch of disguises!
Had he showed up a little less in general, and had the story been a bit longer (and more interesting overall), this could easily have been a five-star affair. As it stands, I still liked it a lot.

A limited three comic-book series in which the city is drenched in extreme warm weather and somebody is taking advantage to play the various crime factions against each other. Each involved person sees what he is supposed to see there is only one person who sees the big picture and wants answers. When he gets them he makes sure the guilty party does pay for his crimes.
Great art once again and moodfull interpretation of the Shadow.
The Shadow would like to remind readers that "The weed of crime bears bitter fruit! Crime does not pay. The Shadow knows!"

Muy buena historia de Kaluta, quien para mi es el mejor escritor de la Sombra que sigue con vida. Esta aventura lo tiene todo. La Sombra disfrazándose, sigilo, comunicaciones entre los agentes, tiempo con los agentes para conocer sus funciones, tiroteos, persecuciones y un final digno de las novelas.
El dibujo es excelente pero las secuencias pudieron haber sido más fluidas. Esta perfecto como una historia separada en una estructura de tres actos que al mismo tiempo cada capítulo tiene sus tres actos. El misterio principal se muestra al principio, pero luego las cosas se van complicando y hay que hacerse cargo de una compilación a la vez.

La historia me resultó difícil de entender.
No me gustó el dibujo. Cuesta distinguir unos personajes de otros.
Para ser sólo 3 números costó terminarlo.
