I miss Shadowman
I know we've seen him recently in the Operation: Deadside arc in Ninjak but this character should have his own ongoing (coming soon in this years Valiant FCBD issue).
Not counting the 4001 Shadowman one-shot it's been a long time since End Times ended. Te darque side of the Valiant U has been kept in stories by Book of Death, Dr. Mirage, and Britannia to an extent but we don't that continuous supernatural element i've been missing.
I recently re-read some of the 90's Shadowman - I love the look and feel of that era. It's dark, full of characterisation and the stories were just fun to read plus there was a connection to the broader Valiant U of the time without there having to be an 'event'.
Just a rant really. I know Shadowman is coming (also in Divinity III), I just hope the wait is worth it

Re: I miss Shadowman
When Valiant came back Shadowman was the #1 character i wanted to see brought back.
I liked the new Valiant version. Good that he's coming back.

Oh whoa, I just assumed that was Divinity, but looking closer that does look much more like the X-O armor.greg wrote:Looks like the Russian Aric... must be part of Stalinverse Valiant.Watchtower wrote:So wait, who made that? Looks so good.Keith wrote:
Stalinverse Shadowman's returning to the original Zircher design? A sign of things to come, perhaps?

Re: I miss Shadowman
Not too sure about Shadowman's spiky hair
Also, is it just me or does it look like he's got a plated shoulder pad and crossbelt?
