Book of Shadows

Post by Sunlight on Snow »

Wow, I'm actually excited about Valiant again.

Looking forward to the new A&A, BS, XO and most certainly this one......
Book Of Shadows.

Promo Art by Riccardo Latina & Nick Filardi. SHADOWMAN. PUNK MAMBO. ETERNAL WARRIOR. DOCTOR MIRAGE. And [CLASSIFIED]. The supernatural protectors of the Valiant Universe unite for the very first time to stand against a terrifying ancient threat. No one is safe as Exarch Fane has his cold hands on the Book of Shadows. From the master of horror CULLEN BUNN and rising star artist RICCARDO LATINA, BOOK OF SHADOWS is a supernatural event that forms a brand-new team in the Valiant Universe… but will they be enough to stop Exarch Fane's wrath? The all-new team arrives this July.

Is that Jack’s sorta, not really girlfriend Alyssa?

This is looking good too!

Really looking forward to this one :D

Was thinking if the mystery female was Alyssa myself.

As Cullen Bunn has already wrote Punk Mambo and Shadowman - this should be an event that delivers!

Glad you guys are excited! As for the mystery character, I can confirm that is not Alyssa and the answer will eventually be revealed within the pages of Shadowman's Deadside War...

I really like the cast of characters that are being brought together for this one (with the element of the new mystery character). Smart choice with a lot of potential!

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of original Valiant heroes, it probably needs to be Sandria or Nettie, but I'm guessing it won't be. :kidaround:

I am really liking the way the core titles are circling back to what we love. I’m still on board.

I don't mean to be rude, but who are you Gregg and how do you know this?

That character looks a LOT like Alyssa from the previous runs on the book, just kitted out in some kind of new super suit, so that seems like poor character design to me. Not that bothered though tbh, I'm more interested in what the interior pages of any comic have to bring to the table than any promo image and I always like me some Shadowman.

Yeah, Gregg, how is it even possible that you know all this?!?

Are you working for the Chinese Government? :o

Not rude at all. I work for Valiant. In case you're interested, here's my Valiant story: http://www.valiantfans.com/forum/viewto ... 15&t=53233

Although this means the ongoing will end, I assume this team book will basically keep the narrative and plot points moving forward from Shadow War. Nice mix of characters that actually make sense story wise. Art looks good, I’m looking forward to it. :thumb:
