Shadowman #7 (comics) Preview

An army of the dead rises to swallow up New Orleans as Shadowman forms an uneasy truce with a dark god.

Doctor Mirage talks to the dead and, right now, they’re all saying the same thing – get out while you still can. As Master Darque readies to invade Shadowman’s city with a necromantic army powered by suffering itself, Jack is about to find himself with an unlikely supporter in the coming war against the Deadside – Baron Samedi, the undead vodoun deity that’s promised to secretly betray Darque’s cause. But can heroes and demons ever truly find common ground? And could a double-cross by either side doom New Orleans to the dead?

Lemme tell you something – if even the dead are telling you to get gone, you should probably do just that. Of course Shadowman isn’t about to pull up shop, I’m just saying that I don’t think a city infested with an army of undead beasties sounds like a situation conducive to life in any way.

But that’s me.

Look for Shadowman #7 to rise from the grave on June 5th from the creative team of Justin Jordan and Neil Edwards. And make sure you keep an eye out for that 8-bit variant cover mimicking some classic RPG action courtesy of one Matt Waite. If you’re a classic game-fan, that’s one that’s probably worth a frame right there.
