Shadowman #11 Reviews!

ShadowmanHalloweenShadowman-11-VARIANT_MASK-HUGHES

My Halloween-themed Shadowman issue has arrived and the response has been great. Here’s what reviewers are saying about “Hallow Tides and Hollow Heads”…

Newsarama: 8/10 “This might not be the usual fare for this book, but it’s a great story and worth picking up.”

The Broken Infinite: 9/10 “Zub writes a good Shadowman but an even better Dr. Mirage. The story was good. The art was fantastic. I liked this issue and wish we were getting more from this creative team.”

Stash My Comics: 9/10 “While not quite as light-hearted as Skullkickers, there’s a bit of Zub’s humor in this issue, along with a great sense of storytelling and world building. He keeps the familiar tone from Jordan’s run on the title, but also puts some of his own touches on the character.”

Analog Addiction: 8.8/10 “If you are someone who finds they’re on the fence about picking up this book, do so and read this as it’s a standalone story that’s perfect for new readers.”

Comic Booked: 8/10 “…its juxtaposition of humor to the horror in that makes this such a enjoyable read. Shadowman#11 is just a fun comic. Treat yourself to it.”

Comic Hype: “…it’s a perfectly timed change of pace that makes Jack and Shadowman right at home in the spirit of the season”

Forces of Geek: “This is a great jumping on point for new and old Shadowman fans, Buffy-verse fans or pick this up to get the Halloween mask variant if you are that lazy about your costume this year!”

Pathfinder Comic Art Teasers

Writing the Pathfinder comic series is a blast and, with all the Samurai Jack stuff on my blog as of late, I wanted to make sure Pathfinder fans had some new material to check out as well.

Over the summer the art schedule on the series slid, but the series is back on track and the second story arc, “Of Tooth and Claw”, should be wrapping up over the next 3-4 months, with issues #9-12 and the extra-sized Pathfinder Special being released.

Here are some art sneak peeks from the 3 artists who are busting away on those issues:

SeanPathfinderTeaser

Sean Izaakse‘s storytelling is top notch. He’s taken every difficult scene I’ve written and knocked it out of the park.

IvanAnayaPathfinderTeaser

Ivan Anaya‘s dragon pencils look incredible. Can’t wait for everyone to read this big fight scene.

PathfinderSpecial08

Kevin Stokes work on the Pathfinder Special is drop dead gorgeous. Every page is packed with detail without muddying the expressions or storytelling. It’s amazing.

SouthMarylandComicCon

I’m happy to announce I’ll be a guest of Southern Maryland Comic-Con on Saturday November 9th!

The show will have a limited edition show-exclusive Samurai Jack #1 variant for sale with new cover art by Bryan Turner. Look at that awesome cover. It’s a beauty.

Anyways, it’s going to be a great time. If you live in the area I hope to see you there.
