Came out today. Read it.
Well, let me get this out of the way. I don't like Shadow. I just don't. I don't like goths and I don't like bad attitudes. So a story focusing on Shadow really wasn't my cup of tea.
The story opens with her whining, some more, about how all her classmates are backwater hicks becasue they don't live in New York, and how they're all conformists for shopping at the Gap. Ugh.
The story-itself was only alright; pretty predictable. They keep pairing Raph with Shadow, obviously because their peronalities match the best (though Raph isn't some stuck-up tool like Shadow). "The Beast" was a uniqe character-design. Really off the wall but in a kind've creepy way. The art had an anime-thing going, which was alright. Normally I hate anime-style, but the artist didn't go over the top with it.
The Letters Page had a few nuggets of wisdom. Issues 2 and 11 were the first installments of a "trilogy". The third part is scheduled for issue 26, so we won't see closure on that for a while.
All in all, I'm not a fan of Shadow so this issue just didn't do anything for me.
