Review: Legend of the Shadow Clan #4

Now that Morgan Himura and her family have learned that they’re descendants of a long line of ninja warriors called the Shadow Clan, one would think that their lives would vastly improve. Especially since the Himura siblings seem to be gaining a better understanding of their unique abilities and talents–especially Morgan, who has always excelled at anything she’s put her mind to. But, there’s a reason why the Shadow Clan had been in hiding for centuries–and now that the Himuras are out in the open, their ancient enemy, the Ghost Clan, has wasted no time in tracking them down. Ready or not, today is the day the Ghost Clan takes the fight to the Shadow Clan!

From the creators of "Executive Assistant: Assassins". "Legend of the Shadow Clan" is an exciting read that's part family drama and part badass ninja throwdown.

It's hard to make ninjas work in contemporary times; but "Legend of the Shadow Clan" makes it work, fusing elements of G.I. Joe and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into an interesting family dynamic that is both parts funny and well written.

The action is fun; but where Aspen excels in it's many different series is that each has a new and interesting take on things. You would think all of Aspen's comics are the same, because they're all fantasy or action; but each plot and cast is different than the other. Here we have a family coping with their mysterious and bloody past, and a rivalry with another ninja-clan that has spilled over into the future.

Legend of the Shadow Clan is a series that is well written and fun for about all-ages. There's something in this for everyone; much like "Shrugged". Aspe has proven that with their talented writers and artists (see the pencil and color work in Shadow Clan, the club scene is gorgeous) that they're an up and coming powerhouse for the comic-book medium .
