Shadecraft

Send us Fan Mail "So you're saying, to use it, I need to control my negative emotions? You know I'm a teenager, right?" This week on Storied Arcs, Mike and Alex make a quick U-turn and return to the creative team of Joe Henderson and Lee Garbett to discuss their follow up book to Skyward, Shadecraft (issues #1-5) from Image Comics. The guys parse through their thoughts on this gone-too-soon story and discuss what does and doesn't work for them in this limited run of issues. They also examine some of the parallel themes that exist in both Shadecraft and Skyward and look at how the Henderson and Garbett approach the traditional "young person coming of age and finding their place in the world" narrative. Finally, the guys lament what could have been for this comic had it been able to continue while also celebrating the work we did get. Skyward and Shadecraft are two books that are in conversation with each other, and next week, we pleased to share our exclusive interview with the writer of both, Joe Henderson!
