    ShadowHawk is an amazing character that has always seem to get sandbagged. He never gets the appreciation or time he deserves and it just sucks. I just wish there were a way for him to stay part of the main stream image universe and really make an impact. He is such a great character that I would hate to see go to wate

    The "current" series was cancelled after issue #5 because low sales.  It was a good stopping point for the series according to Valentino (I can't say I agree, but I digress).

     @jloneblackheart: like chris said, the series ended with #5 and shadowhawk is in semi retirement. I just hate how he has a lot of potential, but becausehe isn't as well liked, he has to get shafted

    @ChrisPartin: ya i agree, maybe this series would be great for an end of shadowhawk, but come on! if people gave up on heroes this easily, heroes like superman would never even exist. i as this idea where they could go back and tell the stories of each shadowhawk separately in one big series, but i think right now they just need to make a plan for shadowhawk, like try to release an issue about him every few months in order to keep him in the main stream of image

    @Superguy0009e: I think something like a series of miniseries for Shadowhawk would be great.  I don't think there's enough interest in getting a full-blown ongoing, but a miniseries once every 8-12 month would be great.  I do think Valentino needs to draw it though.  I think that would bring people to it, or find someone who's an up and coming artist who's getting a little bit of buzz and sign him or her on to the first miniseries or even the first two.  

    I agree there are loads of stories to tell... and I'd buy them all!!

    I preferred the previous Shadowhawk because he can work in Kirkmanverse (even had a team-up with Invincible, Zephyr Noble and Firebreather).

    @ChrisPartin: ya, if they can just find a way to keep the character going, may it be ongoing series or just some issue every few months, I think that'd work perfectly

    I think if an innovative writer was attached, Shadowhawk could make a comeback. However, Image doesn't really throw money at freelance comics talent, which has definitely worked in their favour.

    SH was one of my fave characters in the 90s. Of course, being a product of that wretched decade is probably why his popularity has dipped considerably.

    A buddy of mine just did an interview with Valentino, so I'm curious what he says about the future of Shadowhawk.  The podcast is here -  http://randumbidiocy.podomatic.com/.  Not sure when the interview will be posted, but I wouldn't think too long from now.
