Shade : The Changing Man
A couple years ago I came to the realization that DC was never going to collect Peter Milligan's run on "Shade : The Changing Man". This prompted me to search out each and every single issue of the aforementioned title via quarter bins, used book stores, and ebay. This book is really a forgotten treasure and the best of the founding Vertigo books in my opinion. Seriously, if “Shade” were as readily available in trade format for as long as “Sandman” has been we WOULD be seeing it get the "Absolute" treatment it so rightly deserves. As far as the title losing steam after Kathy’s death and Chris leaving (to create "Generation X" at Marvel), I don’t agree with most fans. Milligan just wanted to “change” Shade yet again, but lost his way a bit. He got it back together and really finished in style. Richard Case, Sean Phillips, and Mark Buckingham (whose work honestly looks pretty close to Bachalo when it’s inked by Mark Pennington) were fantastic in picking up the art chores and along with a refocused Milligan they delivered one of the most satisfying endings of any long term run I’ve ever read. This one's a gem and beloved by those who have read it.
