SPIRIT OF THE SHADOWS #1 (OF 5)
Description
Spirit of the Shadows follows Erik Leroux, a once-mortal musician whose sudden death hurls his soul into a carnival-dark Spirit World. Reborn as a phantom, haunted by fragments of his living life and cursed to wear the arcane costume his corpse bore, he claws back toward the living to uncover his true past and answer who betrayed him. This bold, visually driven series blends superhero bravado with horror-soaked mood, pairing Nick Cagnetti’s expressive art with Daniel Ziegler’s darkly heartfelt storytelling. As Erik fights to reclaim his memories and confront the sins that transformed him, the story surveys love, loss, and vengeance against a backdrop of otherworldly horrors. A beautifully crafted opening arc of a five-issue series promises intense action, moody characterization, and an unforgettable descent into a world where fear fuels power.
