Almost looks like Liefeld?
Liefield?!? Nooooooo! He rarely does anything good!
But I do not see the feet it could be true, and I can't see the face well enough, though most of the characters he draws look like theyy are crying.

Paradise already told us who it was (NOT LIEFELD) but I think that post has now been deleted or edited ... I guess the cat was let out of the bag too soon. I won't repeat it, but it's an artist we've already seen.

Feathered look like he used to do but body parts in proportion to some degree .... Lifeless never learned how to do that so cannot be him.

EDIT: LOL ... Leifeld got autocorrected to Lifeless.

I like the updated look and I'm REALLY looking forward to this series! Then again that's applied to everything else too and best of all, each book so far has been a very, very good read - quite happy and satisfied with VEI.

Nice work everyone - keep it rolling!

Thanks, man, appreciate it. yes, I misspoke this morning, and corrected it with Greg's help. Let's please respect VEI's right to announce books and get the most out of their marketing efforts. It will be announced very soon.

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

Nope. It's his Nightstick.

Very excited. I share most of the thoughts about the logo, etc. But just an awesome development for the line.

The face doesn't look like a mask, though, more like war paint. You can see the contours of of facial lines through it.

Agreed. I really like that idea. Does it have to be a mask?

Not for me, I like new twists. What if it's something that only (and always) appears on his face after sundown, or midnight, or when the Shadowman power kicks in? What if he can't control it, like Hulk's appearance changes when he gets angry? New possibilities...

And like others, when I first saw it I was reminded of Image characters for some weird reason.

I hope that VEI starts creating some merchandise like shirts. I think they could do something with a revamped Shadowman t-.

After a long day this thread is just what I needed:

1. GREAT news...

2. A solid discussion with some speculation and takes on said news...

3. A hilarious tribute to Rob "Pouches" Liefeld
