Shadows and Light #2 Review by (May 16, 2023)

Review: Thing story: Any story featuring the Ever Lovin’ Blue-Eyed Thing is entertaining by nature but this one seems to lack a point and a proper ending. Otherwise okay. 

The Man-Thing tale is beautifully illustrated but I couldn’t follow the story, stretched as it was over many years and often lacking in essential details. 

The Dr. Strange tale is more of a meditation on his life and career, backed by a wordless story; it’s a clever intro to the character and Starlin makes the thing sing. 

And the Spidey story is a nice little offering but I couldn’t shake a strong feeling of familiarity. Haven’t we seen this done before? The pattern on Pete’s jacket is quite amusing, though.

Comments: Each story features a preface with brief profiles of the creators. 

Thing story: Thing compares himself to “Sally Field at the Oscars,” referring to her joy at being honored, “You like me, you really like me!” He also refers to Dr. Timothy Leary, noted for his experimentation with LSD

Spider-Man story: Spidey says, “Say goodnight, Gracie,” the closing joke of THE GEORGE BURNS AND GRACIE ALLEN SHOW; Gracie’s response was always, “Goodnight, Gracie.” He also quotes “I’m late!” from Alice in Wonderland but incorrectly attributes it to the March Hare; it was the White Rabbit, a completely different character, who said it.
