    The Good

    Awesome Cover art! A menacing daredevil in the background while Misty, Shroud, Sable and Paladin cop a pose! Really nice layout.

    The moral and ethical question of how and why the cops were killing these men is a nice touch. All the men killed were murders, pedophiles, extortionists, drug pushers every one of them escaped the courts due to their influence. Was what they did right or wrong? They were helping society in the long run which is more than the typical superhero act does. They throw killer and mass murderers behind bars who break out and do it all again when does it stop being ok to have criminals and scum walk the street? What should heroes do?

    Misty and her team fought well and we got a nice bit of action. The shocker of who was behind the entire thing was believable. Rafe would make a great villain/anti hero to counter Misty Knight with there shared history and there different views of justice. I loved the emotion between these two as they had a clash of ideals.

    The Bad

    No complaints

    The Ugly

    4.5/5 Great read!

Instead, it turned out ot to be much more than that, since Johnston offered a view of a new group of anti heroes or...

      Four heroes thrown together by circumstances complete their investigation of a series of murders being hidden in the chaos of the Hand's takeover of Hell's Kitchen, and it is easily the best story of Shadowland.  Besides Misty Knight, this limited series stars a cast of characters I have never had much interested in. I have almost no prior exposure to the Shroud. Silver Sable has always been a cool Spider-Man ally but not someone I ever cared much about. And Paladin usually came off as just anot...
