so.. I thought they were do something different, just looks the same...

weird, writing is not strong at all, art is okay

I don't get it, they were acting like this a complete redesign of the character..right?

I dunno, I think that was pretty pimp!

I get your grammar part, but this is supposed to be down in the swamps, that is proper English there.

I really thought the art was strong (first look through)

Art looked good, story seemed interesting although it's hard to judge that small snippet.

actually on second look, the art is better than I originally thought..
really good grasp of perspective
i just really thought they were going back to the drawing board, for a complete redesign..maybe a little more back to its roots, i get it, a the blue jumpsuit is a little dated, but this is just the same series with a new number

I think they are. Keep in mind it’s still going to be the Jack B Shadowman, so they have to connect to his last appearance as the Magpie. That’s how he looks here as he arrives back on Earth, but based on the cover art, his costume will be changing.

Looks great, was wondering if they'd get rid of magpie or start fresh. Glad they're addressing it.

Imo.. I feel like shadowman should be a horror book..
this doesn't have that vibe..
especially after they felt they dropped the ball a bit with shadowman as they have noted..., hmm.. I'll check it when it comes out tho

I don't dislike any of the preview but I'm not hooked based on it but I'm going to give it a try anyway and hope for a really compelling story and characterization.

I'm excited for this. Only just getting round to finishing off reading the original run, so this is good timing.

I was a little surprised at first that it looks more superheroey, like the first half of the last run, as opposed to the darker second half. But it makes sense, and ties in nicely with the character as a whole. I only recently read #11-16 and END TIMES via the recent deluxe volume. I actually like the the majority of the entire run, I really love issues #0, 10, 13-16. I thought those were the high-water marks, IMO. It only fell apart for me in the last 3 issues, END TIMES. Sure, the previous issues didn't exactly light the world on fire, but holy cow are the END TIMES issues bad. Definitely the worst thing I've read from VEI in both art and story, and it's mind boggling they made it past editorial. Were they purposefully trying to torpedo the series at the time? When the issues were turned in they should have been rejected and resolicited with a new creative team. Oh well doesn't matter now, I am really looking forward to this new series, it seems like Valiant has learned it's lesson. Yay Jack!

Just finished the original run on Shadowman last night. I enjoyed the first arc, but all continuity was lost in the second arc. It just made no sense, so I don't know how they're gonna fix all that.

What are you defining as the two arcs? Separated based on the hardcover collections or something else?
