Shade is trying to learn more about her new human body and how people around her behave and what they used to feel about her although not all of her discoveries will be pleasent.
More Morrisonian storytelling I guess.
Cecil Castelluci offers a new chapter where she continues to explore more of the bizarre nature of the new Shade and yeah, there's no doubt that this is certainly inspired by some of the most out there works of Grant Morrison which is not the same as the kind of works that Peter Milligan, the writer who recreated Shade into its most popular version, delivers since the latter tends to focus a bit more on actual character instead of putting so much emphasis into the style.
And my God, the style can be asphyxiating at times. There are character hints here and there but the overall tone and concentration on the strange are a bit bothersome. The plot progresses at a nice pace by revealing more about what's about to come but aside from that, I just don't find much to like in this series.
Marley Zarcone handles the artwork and is pretty good looking with a distinctive style that recreates the most insane moments of the script and is certainly fitting for it.
There's also a little story written by Asher Powell who also tries pretty hard to push the style while delivering some sort of social commentary that again, it could have been more powerful if only it didn't have so much focus on trying to sound unique. Mirka Adolfo handles the art and is pretty solid with expressive characters and a vibrant tone.
Yeah, not working for me overall, probably will drop this.
