Looks like Shadowman - Teaser image inside
Shadows fall this November.


Re: Looks like Shadowman - Teaser image inside
Great image. I was pretty sure this was going to be the next big announcement. So glad I was right.

Does anyone recognize the artist?
Almost looks like Liefeld?

Re: Looks like Shadowman - Teaser image inside
Here's a better look...!!!



Re: Looks like Shadowman - Teaser image inside
Wow! I can't believe they kept this under wraps! Nice job Valiant.
I think he looks really cool .... except ... strangely ... the Shadowman logo on his shirt. It feels "tacked on" compared to the rest of the look. I think it would of looked better in the center of his chest or not have it at all.
I really like the rest. The mask is cool looking.
I'm pretty excited though. I can't wait!
I hope we hear about writing and artist soon!

Re: Looks like Shadowman - Teaser image inside
I thought so too at first, but I think the logo over the heart works nicely to balance out the "Eternal Warrior"-esque pattern running down his right arm. (It doesn't look like that pattern runs down the left side, but it's hard to tell)...Crow331 wrote:Wow! I can't believe they kept this under wraps! Nice job Valiant.

EDIT: Hmmm, come to think of it, the pattern is down both sides of the pants, so it's probably down both arms as well...

I like that he has a light saber attached on the back of his belt.

Yeah interesting. I noticed the "Eternal Warrior" feel to this as well ...The Beyonder wrote:...the logo over the heart works nicely to balance out the "Eternal Warrior"-esque pattern running down his right arm.
Another brother?

I'm 'jazzed'

Re: Looks like Shadowman - Teaser image inside
One other thing about the logo placement - being off center, it's less likely to get covered up by a saxophone strap when it's slung across his back!

That's his flashlight so he can see in the dark

Re: Looks like Shadowman - Teaser image inside
That looks so damn badass! I wonder if he's getting his own book or if he's just going to be making an appearance in X-O or Harbinger or something? Either way, he looks so damn badass and I can't wait to see him in action, especially if it's in his own series.

Re: Looks like Shadowman - Teaser image inside
I'll be honest - I'm very surprised at the reaction. This is quite a different look for Shadowman compared to his original design, and comic book fans aren't know for loving changes to their characters!
Still, this one IS really good, and we Valiant fans are cut from a different cloth from the rest of comicdom, right?

From Newsarama:
"Much more on Shadowman's return is coming later this week. Newsarama faithful should look for the news right here in a couple of days. We promise not to hide it in the shadows."

I think even the staunchest of Valiant fans recognize the need to update the characters to fit with the current times...The Beyonder wrote:I'll be honest - I'm very surprised at the reaction.
