In episode 12 of Phantom 2040: A New Shadow, Carlos Oserio meets with Kit Walker Jr. Now that Carlos has learned of his past and accepted who he is, all roads lead to his legacy. It's a colorful, heartfelt, and action-packed episode that's fun and a welcome reinterpretation of The Phantom for fans both old and new.
Writers Alex Segura and Michael Moreci, with art by John Amor and George Kambadais, craft a compelling episode that serves as both an introduction to The Phantom for new readers and a passing of the torch in the Phantom 2040 storyline. From reader this series, one gets the feeling that while the assignment is continuing the 2040 storyline from the 90's cartoon, the goal is to create a compelling narrative that embraces all of The Phantom.
This episode dives into what makes Phantom, who celebrates his 90th birthday this year, a memorable hero. It serves as an argument to explain why, unlike other popular superheroes, The Phantom is distinctive and unique. In a way, it's also coded to celebrate the more global nature of this character.
