There are a million dreams in New Orleans, but now its worst nightmare is about to come true. The forces of darkness are preparing to claim the Big Easy as their own and to stop it; Jack Boniface has to accept the legacy he was born to uphold. As Shadowman, Jack is about to become the only thing that stands between his city and an army of unspeakable monstrosities from beyond the night. But is the task of being Shadowman a blessing or a curse? And what is the true cost of his otherworldly power?
Coming in November 2012, the next epic expansion of the Valiant Universe starts in Shadowman #1 – the first issue of an all-new series from comics superstar Patrick Zircher (Captain America, Thor: Ages of Thunder) and Justin Jordan (The Strange Talent of Luther Strode, Team 7)!
“Shadowman is one of the most popular characters in the Valiant Universe and the fans have been asking me since day one when he’s going to return,” said Valiant Executive Editor Warren Simons. “Justin and Patrick have put together an action-packed debut that also adds an incredibly important new dimension to the Valiant Universe. And as Patrick’s pages clearly demonstrate, he’s one of the finest artists working in the medium today. We’ve got an amazing team at the helm of our fifth ongoing launch and I can’t wait for the first issue to hit the stands.”
Shadowman #1 features a standard cover by Patrick Zircher with variants by industry icons Dave Johnson and Bill Sienkiewicz. Additionally, Valiant is continuing its insanely successful Pullbox Exclusive Variant program with a “blackout” cover by Patrick Zircher – available only to people who pre-order Shadowman #1. So you might want to do that – Right now.
So far Archer & Armstrong, Harbinger, X-O Manowar, and Bloodshot have all fascinated a new generation of fans and critics alike, and when Shadowman arrives this November, they will see the rebirth of another Valiant icon.
