The Last Phantom

The Last Phantom is a comic book series published by Dynamite Comics. It is a Darker and Edgier take on The Phantom.


 * Cheap Costume: Even though he's abandoned the mantle, Kit always carries his Rings and Gunbelt with him in an attache case. But...not an actual COSTUME. He's improvised two costumes so far, but now has also made a more "proper" costume.
 * Corrupt Corporate Executive: Quisling.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: Quite a few of them.
 * Darker and Edgier
 * Drill Sergeant Nasty: The previous Phantom.
 * Eye Scream: When we see the present Phantom's father in the flashbacks, his face is always in shadow. Observant readers may notice that only one of his eyes is showing. When his (masked) face is finally revealed in Issue 5, it's shown that at some point he suffered an injury to his face that cost him his left eye. Issue 7 reveals that.
 * Improbable Aiming Skills: Still has 'em.
 * Parental Marriage Veto: Implied when Kit actually asks HIS father for permission to marry the woman he loves.
 * Technical Pacifist: By the time he officially dons the mantle.
 * The Faceless: Averted, except for . There, shadows and a panel cutoff are used to keep his eyes hidden.
 * Training from Hell: Kit's flashbacks to his childhood ring of this, it could be one reason he abandoned the mantle.

 * Wham! Episode: The Last Phantom Annual #1...
