LIBRARY JOURNAL -- Jack Boniface (Shadowman) is yanked through a Deadside portal by way of a Louisiana swamp in order to save the world from various voodoo-induced monsters. Shadowman's “soul-walking” curse is precarious when traversing the thinly veiled existence between the real and spirit worlds-but he must accept the danger to hold evil at bay. Friend and abettor Alyssa Myles attempts to help Jack and others bring some kind of resolution to the warring factions threatening to tear apart the very existence of life. Launching a dangerous strategy of magic and incantations, the outgunned cadre struggle to stand against the onslaught of darkness. Collects single issues 1-3. This alluringly rendered volume from Diggle (The Losers; Green Arrow: Year One), Segovia ( Action Comics), and Pollina (X-Men: Rise of Apocalypse) presents a terrific blend of action and intrigue. The art is vibrant, and the subject matter enticing. A beautiful gallery is also included.
VERDICT Fans of occult fantasy, African juju, or well-told dark vs. light sagas will find this very satisfying.
