After a three-week hiatus, Phantom 2040: A New Shadow is back with episode 17! This episode starts with a little bit of a recap, this time told from the perspective of Charles Tyrus, one of the main villains in this webcomic sequel series. Whereas Carlos Oserio, the new Phantom, was taking a sledgehammer to Tyrus' operation last episode, this time around we learn more about what the villains are up to.
This episode looks like it combines art styles from John Amor and George Kambadais, as it brings in elements from earlier episodes in its recap of the series thus far. Alex Segura and Michael Moreci introduce a new twist this episode, as the shadowy benefactor, Rebecca Madison, steps into the light and seizes control of the operation. This is after Carlos proved to be more than Tyrus' bots could handle!
As we've said in previous reviews, for every reveal and further information peppered into each episode, more questions remain. For example, we learn more about Fitzroy, but we still really don't know she she is. Also, what about the Ghost Jungle is important to the Anti-Phantom suit, and how does "black magic" exist and work in this cyberpunk dystopian world?
Question for the Phans: How do you feel about "black magic" being interwoven into the Phantom 2040 universe?
