In Phantom 2040: A New Shadow episode 9, we circle back to the cliffhanger seen in episode 7, wherein Carlos Oserio, now sporting the Phantom 2040 suit, was surrounded by Tyrus' machine henchbots. This episode delivers the action that readers have anticipated since that cliffhanger. True to this creative team's love of throwing in curveballs, it doesn't happen in a way readers anticipated, but what results is fun, colorful, and definitely lively.
In episode 9, writers Alex Segura and Michael Moreci, and artist George Kambadais, reach beyond just a cool action piece. We see a little more of the civilian side of this new vision for Phantom 2040, as well as end on an introduction of a character whose name we heard mentioned in the episode previous. Who is this character? What is their story? We'll find out soon (hopefully).
That said, it seems like more and more people are learning this new Phantom's identity. That might be a sticking point with fans, as the list is constantly growing.
Question for the Phans: How do you feel about The Phantom's identity being so widely known?
