That is an awesome selection of Skottie Young pieces this week o.o
Yup. Dream, Human Torch (assuming that's Human Torch), and Spock all look great though I don't really like the "LLP" in the background behind Spock; this could have been done better.
@donfelipe: did you know Shadowman is getting a new writer?
Seriously? Bummer
Yea next issue is his last
I think it was necessary. I liked the first Shadowman story arc but after Patrick Zircher left the book took a nosedive.
Yea you can kinda tell that JJ was struggling with all his commitments and his writing was suffering, not to say it was bad though it's still a good book.
I didn't know until yesterday. In the November Solicits and on Bleeding Cool it says Alex Kot, Sebela, and Dvorak will be writing issue 12 that will feature 3 stories. I'm okey with Kot and don't know anything about the other two writers who seem to be fairly new. We'll see.
Yea an 11 is going to be a Halloween special
Halloween is coming – and it’s about to hit the Valiant Universe like a ton of bricks!
Valiant is proud to announce its first standalone Halloween special, coming this October in Shadowman #11 – an all-new, hell-raising, bonfire-blazing adventure from critically acclaimed writer Jim Zub(Skullkickers) and superstar artist Miguel Sepulveda (Red Lanterns, The Thanos Imperative)!
After witnessing the origin of all Shadowmen past and present in Shadowman #10, follow Jack Boniface into his first Halloween in the Valiant Universe! It’s All Hallow’s Eve in News Orleans – and Shadowman’s about to find himself alone on the job, standing guard on the most dangerous night of the year. Still reeling from the fallout of his cataclysmic battle with Master Darque, can Jack go it alone and protect his city from the legion of evils that haunt the Halloween night? By popular demand, it’s a special October tale for Valiant’s nocturnal guardian – and a perfect jumping-on point for new readers!
“Halloween mixes in well with the supernatural action and voodoo that drives the series and this issue uses the over the top Halloween revelry in New Orleans as a backdrop for an action-packed caper,” Zub told the New York Post. “On a night where everyone is in costume and the imagery of death and the supernatural is all over the place, Shadowman can operate a bit more ‘publicly’, but the seasonal chaos also presents a whole other set of challenges.”
Featuring a standard cover by Marcus To(Cyborg 009, Batwing), also look for theShadowman #11 Halloween Mask Cover – featuring a perforated, fully detachable Shadowman mask printed on high quality card stock that no Valiant fan will want to miss!
This October, evil has its day. Ride along when Shadowman confronts Halloween’s worst horrors in Shadowman #11 – by acclaimed creators Jim Zub and Miguel Sepulveda!

That's a lot of changes and different (and new) talents for Shadowman in a short period of time. Nonetheless I'm looking forward to these issues. Halloween Special times Shadowman just has to be good, and I love anthology titles; having 3 (shorter) stories in issue #12 could be fun. I'm actually excited about Shadowman's upcoming titles. On Bleeding Cool it also says that there will be a "13X" edition as part of the Bleeding Cool Magazine (for $1.99); an exclusive preview to a new story arc and issue 13 in December. Here's the 13X cover:
Pretty cool, huh?
There's plenty of reasons to be excited about Shadowman's future.

The Shadow is killing it as usual, and I also like the Miss Fury/Katana one and the Dark Nights babies... so cute. November is going to be great month for comics. Can't wait!
It's not such a surprise X-O won this poll. Somehow I can't remember voting in the first place. Anyway, my two favorite Valiant series are first and last, or more like last and first. I can't wait much longer for the Eternal Warrior.
YES. This article is PURE YES. lol. Disclaimer: DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE STRONGLY RELIGIOUS.
Otherwise, this comic is so much fun it's amazing.
I don't think it's that offensive really. After all Battle Pope is the hero fighting against the evils of the world and underworld for that matter. Kirkman's GOD really cares (unlike our GOD who doesn't even seem to be around all the time. seriously, where is this guy?). If anything I'd be more worried about how Kirkman portrayed Jesus as the total loser who even gets used to hanging on that cross after a while (the irony... LOL).
Battle Pope is awesome! A real eye-opener, full of irony and sarcasm. I'd say if anyone can't get these - irony and sarcasm - he/she shouldn't pick up Battle Pope. If you can you're safe no matter religious or not.
I know it's a thin line. ROFL
Last not least, lets hope for the return of the Battle Pope. Come on, Kirkman!
@lukas988: sorry buddy, Irma is here at the rally WITH Phoebe and Celeste, blonde hair in tact.
burn!
That's a beautiful splash page right there - I like the art and spooky atmosphere.
If there's any Marvel NOW!/X title that I may pick up again it'd be this. This seems to be the one X title that constantly receives the highest of ratings everywhere. Not sure why I stopped following it (at issue 3 or 4)... probably cuz of a Marvel/NOW!/X overload earlier this year.
