Re: CBR: Valiant Teases 'Book of Death'
I hadn't heard that. I thought for sure they'd keep Milligan on Shadowman for awhile, being that the soft relaunch was so widely publicized. I think it'd be a shame to just ditch him entirely for LemireBugsySig wrote:I'm guessing this will be written by Lemire and spinoff into a new Shadowman series also written by him. He hinted at a second book a while back with a character who likes the dark.

Re: CBR: Valiant Teases 'Book of Death'
Not a big fan of Milligan
So I'm hoping Lemire takes on Shadowman
I would hope that he can just build on whats come before ... make it all come together continuity wise while bringing the character into a new direction
Looks like Shadowman will be featured in the 2nd or 3rd arc in Bloodshot Reborn
and then perhaps he will be launched into a Shadowman Reborn title by Lemire

When Lemire first was teased as a Valiant writer he teased something with guns and another with Shadowblujay wrote:I hadn't heard that.

About the image it looks like a group of guys wearing Shadowman T-shirts, in a Shadowmobile, very interesting.

Yeah, I'd really like to see that happen too - there's been a lot of cool ideas tossed around with Shadowman to date, it just didn't quite all gell together yet. Hopefully this isn't the only Shadowman related project that Lemire was alluding to.bygranddesign wrote:So I'm hoping Lemire takes on Shadowman

Re: CBR: Valiant Teases 'Book of Death'
New baseless theory: Book of Death will be an EW based event with Mitu (Gilad's Son...I'm pretty sure that was his name) as the central villain. If that's the case than I predict the event to be penned by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente
if not then it's just like everything else: with Kind-T written all over it
Thoughts?

Maybe it's Baron Samedi possessing everyone, making them fight to the death, but Gilad is unaffected and decides to go Deadside with the help of Dr. Mirage to put Samedi in his place?hunter_peterson wrote:Hmm. Shadowman related or Eternal Warrior related? Or both? I could see the title referring to either the House of the Dead or the Deadside...
And yes, I intentionally made it sound impossibly outlandish

Re: CBR: Valiant Teases 'Book of Death'
That's what I was thinking. Dino mentioned "stories we haven't told yet". This could be the Venn diagram union of EW, the Geomancer, the book from the cube, Mitu, the House of Death, Shadowman and Darque.blujay wrote:New baseless theory: Book of Death will be an EW based event with Mitu (Gilad's Son...I'm pretty sure that was his name) as the central villain.

Re: CBR: Valiant Teases 'Book of Death'
Totally off the wall speculation: The freed demon-thing from Dr. Mirage is working to replace lost history from Lyceum by writing a book... of the dead.

Re: CBR: Valiant Teases 'Book of Death'
Going back to the Shadowman picture there, I'm sure I remember seeing a scene like that back in VH1 Birthquake! Anyone remember the 'Cult of Shadow' or whatever they were called in the issues with that pink-haired dude 'Blister'?
Seriously though, Shadowman monster truck? I think someone must've told VEI what my two favourite things in entertainment media are
Love that monster trucks seems to appear in VEI comics from time to time, always great
The promo art though, not bad but all the faces look like someone cut the heads off the characters' bodies and replaced them with face doodles on little sacks of potatoes. Seriously, Punk Mambo: I genuinely thought it was a transvestite in her outfit for a moment, until I realised all the faces were *SQUEE*

I don't think the random word generator in the Valiant Idea Department is working as it should.
In all seriousness, can't wait for more info on this!!! That teaser image gives me chills!!!
