Shadow State's run lasted 5 issues. The first issue was published in
December 1995 and the final issue was published in May 1996. The
first two issues also contained a Fatale storyline that continues in
the Fatale series. Shooter has a writing credit in the first three
Shadow State issues.
Each issue of Shadow State contains a comic within a comic. The main
character in Shadow State reads comics and each issue of Shadow State
contains a mini-story titled "Image Isn't Everything" that the
main character is reading. The mini-story is a parody of the Image
Comics extravagant drawing style and dialog.
There are two known Shadow State variants. Issues 1 and 2 were
also produced as black and white promotional issues given free to
retailers. These promotional copies were printed on lower-quality
paper and contain no color on the cover or the interior pages. Aside
from the lack of color, the promotional issues were the same as the
colored retail versions.
