REVIEW: Shadowman #5

Or – “A La Recherche Du Temps Perdu…”

Having been reading comics since the late 1970s, it’s sometimes hard not to turn into a cynical jackwagon, snorting about how everything is stupid, how each new idea will suck, and how I saw this the FIRST time around, and it didn’t work then.  How successful I am at subverting that cliché depends on my mood (and probably the reader’s perspective) but the new Valiant revival has hit all the right notes with me, pretty much across the board.  Now that Shadowman (possessor of the single greatest chest emblem in comics history) is back on the racks, I’m hoping to recapture some of the lost magic of 1992, when Valiant began to reign supreme.  Can the creators pull it off?  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

Valiant is apparently sponsoring the USA Luge Team and in return their uniforms will be modeled after a Valiant character. Take the jump for more details.

REVIEW: Archer & Armstrong #3

Or – “Ninja + Nun = Nunja!”

REVIEW: Harbinger #2

Or – “Steve Borden and Gordon Sumner Are Watching Closely…”

The original run of Harbinger back in the 1990s constitutes one of the strongest runs to come out of Valiant Comics, a company known for strong concepts and characters.  The relaunched Harbinger caught my imagination, and now we’re back for a second helping, to see if the good feelings last.  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
