The book has a few more variant covers on top of the above.

…the book ends on a quote as per usual.

In-between we get Tiberius walking Val and her brother Emory…

…the the special “lux” light that…

…is intended to purge the darkness from him so…

…he is no longer a shade, but human again.

Tiberius and Val are monitoring Emory and…

…we see his fossilized shades?!

We later learn Emory…


…chose to become a shade as…

…he didn’t find life in the dark running from the shades as a life.

The book ends with Val learning…


…that Tiberius in league with Blacktop Bill who has been hunting Val, Emory and Bailey.

The Pulse:

A slower paced issue, but lots of story development and characterization. Solid art. A fun read. 8 out of 10.
