Night after night, Jack Boniface puts his heart and soul into his music, and, night after night, the people of the French Quarter come out to watch him play.

The Shadowman carries the responsibility and duty of protecting the living world from the dark parallel world of the Deadside.

To stop them someone else must take up the mantle of Shadowman and send them back. Nettie, a voodoo priestess, and her Deadside spy Jaunty believe that person may be Zero, a contract killer with a mysterious past.

On the borderlands of life and death, Shadowman – the voodoo guardian of the barriers between the worlds – continues his deadly struggle to protect Earth from the evil denizens of Deadside. MIchael Leroi, D.J. and mystical voodoo warrior is given this almost impossible task.

DON’T FEAR YOUR DEMONS… FIGHT THEM! Orphaned at birth and raised on the margins of society, Jack Boniface never knew his place in the world.

For years, he struggled to control the loa’s murderous urges – a battle he eventually lost. But now, after years of self-imposed exile, the man once known as Shadowman is returning home to sharpen the weapon within…and unleash a reckoning on the evils of our world that will soon send shockwaves through heaven and hell alike… In the epic tradition of X-O MANOWAR and BLOODSHOT REBORN, Shadowman storms to the forefront of the Valiant Universe – more powerful, more terrifying, and more relentless than ever before – in an adrenaline-fueled ongoing series from superstar writer Andy Diggle (Green Arrow: Year One, The Losers) and high-octane artist Stephen Segovia (Action Comics)!
