After a holiday break, we return to the world of Phantom 2040: A New Shadow with a brand new episode. While we don't get to see more of Carlos Oserio in the Phantom suit, nor in action, we do get a bit of an investigative thriller episode that further intertwines the villainous plot happening behind the scenes.

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.
