AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! :-o

SHADOWMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO! :headbang: :insane: :cloud9:




Ok...now that I've got that out of my system...

I LOVE the look. Of all the Valiant originals Shadowman was probably the most in need of a redesign (Followed closely by Archer and EW). I can see the logo seeming out of place, but it is probably because we are so used to seeing it in the middle and much larger.

Definitely not Leifeld. Pouches, yes. Small-ish hands, yes. No visible feet, yes. Gigantic scifi gun(s) and/or knives, no. So it can't be him. :lol:

Zircher and Aja have done all of the (revealed) designs thus far. Could be Zircher, but I'm not sure.

I guess this is the big reveal that bumps EW from the Winter 2012 book? Of course November is still the Fall... :hm:

Love it!!! It does almost have an 'Image' look to it...

Yes, I miss seeing the logo in the front of his chest. Of course, maybe he will have different outfits??

The logo certainly does seem like it doesnt mesh with the suit this time around. I would like to see it on the costume for a few issues (for nostolgia sake) but then give us a revamp of the logo as well.

And I do agree that it certainly has a Liefield feel to it but in this case I dont think its necessarily a bad thing. I cant wait to see some interior artwork.

It's been so tough not to talk about this for so long. Saw this image when Harbinger #1 came out.

I love the new look. Shadowman was in need of a update and while this is drastic, this is just what was needed. I see the image and can say this is Shadowman (even if the logo wasn't there).

It's time to do my happy dance!

And I'm more disappointed that he doesn't have long hair than I am about his shadow logo not being in the center of his chest.

This looks awesome! I love the update. For one I also like the Logo because it looks more like a "badge" and with the "urban fighter" look I think is terrific. I hope they keep the Voodoo/ Mystic aspects of the book. I am so thrilled with everything Valiant has done so far I am willing to try anything they put out!

Valiant for LIFE!!! lol :clap:

Who cares? :? When are we going to see dr. Mirage?! :mad: :wink:

But seriously... I'm a little scared of how much they are going to change his origin and details now... Sax? No sax? Jazz? No jazz?

I could get behind the new shadowman being in a gothic industrial or heavy rock band as lead guitarist though...

Looking at that picture I can just hear the entire "the crow" movie soundtrack playing... And see him shreding on an electric guitar on a rooftop in the dark of night... :wink:
It's not that I don't have an avatar... I've just been working on it for the last few hundred years.

Well that ain't Jack. It would be cool though if the title was called Shadowmen and there are a few of them running around including Jack. That way you could still have the new Orleans and jazz thing going on but you could wrap it more onto the new universe.

I'm surprised. I thought maybe Liefeld was doing this piece to make up for his twitter rant against the XO sales numbers.

When Valiant first announced their re-launch they said there would be 4 titles. So did they change their mind, pull the wool over our eyes, or is Shadowman just going to make an appearance in one of the existing books like EW?
