\"coverShadowman<\/i> by Jamie Delano & Charlie Adlard<\/a>
\nValiant Entertainment (April 5, 2022)
\n272 pages; $24.99 paperback
\nReviewed by Joshua Gage<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the first writer of the <\/span>Hellblazer<\/span><\/i> series (Jamie Delano) and one of the major artists of <\/span>The Walking Dead <\/span><\/i>series (Charlie Adlard) team up, readers know that something exciting is going to happen. Taking Valiant\u2019s character Shadowman, these two artists were able to create a solid graphic novel of voodoo and horror in New Orleans that is sure to entertain any horror aficionado.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shadowman<\/span><\/i> focuses on the character Michael LeRoi, who is suffering visions and hallucinations — or so he thinks. He\u2019s a killer for hire, but he\u2019s being pursued by a haunting dead man named Jack Bonaface, as well as an Irishman who can turn into a giant snake and a woman named Mama Nettie who lives in the swamp. His bartender friend, Josie, is doing what he can to keep Michael alive, but only until Michael realizes what his actual relationship is with Josie and how caught up he is in this chaos. Every page drips with the intrigue and double-crosses of noir literature, all against a background of New Orleans, voodoo, and death.<\/span><\/p>\n

Delano\u2019s writing and clever plot twists make for an exciting read. On top of that, Adlard\u2019s artistic style seems almost cinematic, so that readers are constantly entertained and rarely bored. While Shadowman isn\u2019t an original invention of either of them, what they do with the character and how they reinvent the story of Shadowman and Mama Nettie is enough to keep any fan of horror graphic novels entertained. This is as strong as could be expected from such industry greats, and readers will certainly enjoy <\/span>Shadowman<\/span><\/i> by Jamie Delano and Charlie Adlard.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
