For those who have been reading Phantom 2040: A New Shadow, the most recent episode brings us up to speed with the events that kicked off Phantom 2040: A New Shadow episode 1.

In this episode, titled "Stolen Legacy," tech magnate Charles Tyrus treats media and audience attendees with a deep dive into who The Phantom is, his oath, and his legacy. Writers Alex Segura and Michael Moreci, and Artist John Amor, use this episode to reference past stories and famous imagery, some of which seem plucked from The Phantom Bible. It's clearly a nod to the older fans, as well as an introduction to The Phantom lore to new fans who found the character through this series.
