Introduced in 1977's Shade The Changing Man #1 by Steve Ditko and Michael Fleisher, Rac Shade is an alien from the planet Meta who escapes to earth so he can clear his name for a crime he didn't commit. I suppose I should provide some sort of brief history as to who Shade the Changing Man (aka Rac Shade) is, just in case you're a new reader and not familiar with this character whatsoever. Since Shade the Changing Girl is a NEW character and will inevitably reference Shade the Changing Man mythos. Secondly, I'm extremely curious to see how this series compares to Peter Milligan's Shade the Changing Man from the early 90s (which I loved so dearly). I honestly believe that it has that 'punk/indie' feel that will bring new readers to DC comics - especially with Gerard Way (of My Chemical Romance) at the helm. First, I have high hopes for the Young Animal imprint. My interest in Shade the Changing Girl is two-fold. By the time you read this, Shade the Changing Girl v1 #1 will have been released a bit more than a year ago (hence the 'one year later' bit added to the title of this article). The first review about Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye can be read here. This is the second in a series of reviews about the *new* Young Animal imprint from DC comics.
