WELCOME TO THE SHADOWS
Posted: 052817

Shadowman will return to the racks in 2018. This was revealed at the recent Valiant Summit in Los Angeles. Shadowman is involved in the May launching Rapture limited series by Matt Kindt and CAFU and you could guess that will set up the new series. Valiant Entertainment Editor-in-Chief Warren Simons and CEO and Chief Creative Officer Dinesh Shamdasani aren’t willing to reveal much but did say that Valiant wants to explore the supernatural side of the Valiant Universe. There are multiple characters that can go into the Deadside but since Shadowman lives there he can explain it better. The Rapture event will have a supernatural strike force of Punk Mambo, Shadowman, Ninjak and some new characters like Rex the Razer to take on a villain called Babel. The conclusion will push Shadowman into making a decision that sets up the first issue of the new series. That book will ship on 3/28/2018 which will be a year after the debut of the new X-O series. The move is intentional and Valiant will debut a new series in 2019 at the same end of the month ship date. We have no idea who the creative team on Shadowman will be but the teaser image is from Moon Knight’s Greg Smallwood. Valiant will reveal news on Unity and Rai soon.
