Shadowman? Did someone say... Shadowman?

Post by greg »

The same article from the New York Times, but it mentions a character that's come up once in a while around here.

I thought it might need its own discussion.

You would think the NY Times would have better proof reading/editors. Can't believe they would screw up the name...it's NIghtman, people! Shadowman was that knockoff over at Malibu...idiots.

I'm just glad it was pretty good, long and drawn out. (that's what she said.)

Obviously it was a typo since thats an ultraverse character. Kinda got me worried though. A bob Hall one would rock... An acclaim one...
It's not that I don't have an avatar... I've just been working on it for the last few hundred years.

He had a tv show too. Lasted two seasons. The Valiant tv show Night Man.

After Steve Englehart plagiarized Shadowman #1 (which he also wrote, so he plagiarized himself but that doesn't make it any better) in Night Man #1, I could never stomach that character. I watched one episode of the show just to see how bad it was. And it was indeed pretty bad. Worse than M.A.N.T.I.S.
I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

MANTIS was the one with the ancient wizard stuck in the hot babes body, right? :lol:

He was an ancient knight. He worked for an ancient wizard. And that wizard had an enemy named Boneyard.

The ORIGINAL M.A.N.T.I.S. show was very good. The...version that became the series, was *SQUEE*. :censored:
