iFanboy: Don't Miss #79 - The Shade #1 with James Robinson

They say you can’t go home again, but writer James Robinson proves them wrong as he returns to his seminal character, The Shade, for the first issue of a 12 issue maxi-series. The Shade stole the show in Robinson’s epic run on Starman in the 1990s, and we got a taste of what life was like today for The Shade in Blackest Night: Starman #81 and recent (pre The New 52) issues of Justice League of America. With this first issue, Robinson teams up with Cully Hamner to begin a year long adventure that will take The Shade out of Opal City and into the world, as well as reveal his origin. James Robinson chats with us about this first issue which is in stores Wednesday, along with what to expect from the entire series, story and artist wise, in this candid discussion about The Shade #1!
