Will the real slim Shady please stand up?
Dudes, the Shade is immortal. He has inside him blood of kings, he has no rival, etc. So his “death” at the end of the last issue wasn’t a shocking twist — you know he could just regenerate himself — but it was an effective scene. It still raised the stakes. I didn’t care for the revelation that that was just a shadow-matter duplicate, and that ol’ Shady is perfectly fine. We find out in this issue that his body’s all shadow-matter anyway, so why did he need to create a second Shade? Piling one fake-out on top of another just seemed unnecessary.
Minor objections aside, this issue picks up quickly, and has the same tone and snappy dialogue as the first one. We still don’t see much of Opal City in this issue, and the fact that the action is shifting abroad is a little disappointing. But fear not: Opal City’s in the capable hands of Bobo Bennetti, who’s been de-aged substantially from the old DCU — he looks almost exactly like the Shade, but without sideburns — but still has the old Rat Pack dialogue down pat. It’s also a good callback to the original Starman series to see a “you take care of Opal while I’m gone, ‘kay?” scene.
