THE GOOD:
Milligan
writes a great issue, full of tension, emotion and personal conflict. This is a
personal conflict that is enhanced by magic, making it have higher states. Yet,
Milligan always makes sure it is grounded by the emotional. And boy, we get
some BIG developments for Jack this issue. Much of the status quo is dismantled
with this issue and it just grips at readers hearts. Milligan continues to add
to the mythology of Shadowman while developing the characters within. Josiah
had some major development in this issue that gives readers a whole new
impression of the previous Shadowman. And with great pacing and dialogue, Milligan
hits a home run.
De Landro, Livesay and Baron continue to dazzle with some great art. The darker, less detailed art really helps create mood and adds to the tension; allowing readers to immerse themselves. De Landro and Livesay do an outstanding job bringing out a deep, creepy atmosphere and making our hero look as conflicted as he truly. With some dramatic background and Baron’s dark colors, this issue really help bring out the tension and dark atmosphere of the book. Really great job.

THE BAD:
Without
spoilers, Jack gives up something … that was very quickly put together in the
first place. Otherwise, great issue.
THE VERDICT:
THE VERDICT:
Story
was great with the one weird hiccup. The art was definitely stellar. A good
book, all in all. I give Shadowman: End Times # 2
a 4.5 … out of 5.
