Shadowman #9 (comics) Preview

Shadowman Jack Boniface and Master Darque face off for the last time in a showdown that could spell disaster for all that Jack holds dear.

Trapped in the Deadside with his powers at an all-time low, Jack is about to suffer a devastating betrayal as Master Darque’s ultimate plan stands revealed. Now, with the Brethren on the verge of wiping out the last of the Abettors in New Orleans, and the Deadside threatening to explode into our world, Jack will have to call on everything he’s got to stop them…or lose it all trying.

Shadowman has been one of the best supernatural/superhero books on the racks since it’s debut in 2012. At times, the comic has even bordered on the horrific with all manner of monsters and the undead running wild in its pages. Underneath it all has been the enigmatic Master Darque. More than just a foible for the heroic Shadowman, Darque is a link to everything that makes Jack Boniface the bearer of the Loa and maybe a whole lot more.

Issue #9 of Shadowman hits stands on August 7th from the all-star creative team of writer Justin Jordan (Green Lantern: New Guardians)and artists Neil Edwards (Fantastic Four) and Roberto De La Torre (Daredevil). Then make sure you come back for the fallout on September 4th when issue 10 brings further revelation about Master Darque’s early years and just how his rise ties directly into the line of Shadowmen.
