Mister Miracle #7

[laughing_tree]

No one can out-Kirby Kirby. You can’t make an epic as great as he did. It’s like trying to make Star Wars again, or like trying to rewrite the Iliad. You can take those grand cosmic space opera themes and internalize them and use them to tell a very personal story. -- Tom King

The Shadow and Batman faced Shiwan Khan and Ra's al Ghul.

[thanekos]

Two men faced the secret masters of the world.

The two who led the Silent Seven had a third on their side- Damian Wayne, Robin, claimed by Ra's and puppeted by Khan.

Batman faced Ra's and Damian in the Seven's headquarters.

The Shadow faced Khan in the latter's mind.

He fought with the power he'd realized when Khan'd had Damian take a shot at him.

Khan overpowered him, blowing holes in his self-conception.

" You were always going to die here. " he told the defeated Shadow.

" How could you possibly hope to defeat me in my own mind? "

( The Shadow answered him. )

Both of them cunning, ruthless, and willing to bend the rules to win the game: the game being more important than actually who wins or loses (as such things are subjective designations, after all)." - Christopher Priest
