Origin of Shadowman

[@TheStanishStudios]

Valiant really has some of best continuity control, I love how they plan everything out in advance across multiple titles-instead of rebooting the multiverse every other year

[@TheNickcone]

Yes! More Valiant characters.

[@blix1ms0ns]

Variant Comics doing A Valiant comics?

[@markmolino6091]

Agreed

[@archangel5627]

I completely agree, we need more Valiant content!

Its a good thing the game is coming out next year

I was surprised by your use of wire.

Michael Leroi. The video game just brought this atmosphere of dread. One of the scariest games i'd ever played on n64, ps1 AND pc. The comics are also on a whole other level.

[@ImaFnT-Rex]

And now the remastered version is on consoles Glad when they made the game of Shadowman that it was a voodoo warrior instead [Looks cooler if you ask me]

[@teagunnn]

yea of shit there going to ruin it they cant get over that they made him but they will destroy him

[@NecroZeno]

I remember playing the Shadowman games in the early 2000 good times

I only knew of Shadow man from the N64 game back in the 99. Scared the crap out of me as a kid.

[@Ax-xN]

Seriously this is underrated and we definitely need a movie on this version

[@ricardoleon458]

There is a game for the N64 that was very good in my opinion, and a sequel for the playstation that I never played.

[@Ouyak]

@@ricardoleon458 yeah, and there's actually a specific run that's the N46 game is based on that Arin didn't mention. Missed opportunity to mention that Shadowman is getting a remaster.

Thanks Arris, I’m glad Variant is giving Valiant some love.

[@fitnessoni7881]

This sounds like the Darkness, Jackie Estacado

[@Necroleaf12]

This is perfect!! Shadowman is my favourite comic book character, in fact Shadowman #0 from the 90s is the comic that got me into comics and necromancy. Thank you for mentioning both the original and rebooted versions, great video!

[@hisyamnct3845]

- History of Robocop - History of Judge Dredd - History of The Mask - History of Namor The Submariner - History of League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen - History of Ultraman - History of Kamen Rider - History of Black Mask - History of The Phantom - History of The Rocketter - History of The Shadow

[@alanguages]

I would add: -History of The Crow -History of Grendel

[@sightedgem5413]

What comic is The mask under is it dark horse plus is it darker than the movie with Jim Carrey? Im honestly curious I want to read on how accurate the movie one was to the comic version

[@thecatapultdio4717]

Sighted Gem oh The Mask comic is way darker than the movie. It’s horrifying.

[@puffythedestroyer8878]

The game based on the Michael Le’Roi incarnation from Aklaim (though completely ignored in this video) is currently being remastered by NightDive studios RN, so it’s another win for Shadowman I say

[@StudioGhibliFan494]

The Shadowman mantle is like the Crow mantle, it gets passed on. Thank you so much for making the time to make this video, it's so informative & I really enjoyed it from start to finish.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do History of DC's Shining Knight and Marvel's Black Knight?

[@greyworld6242]

Hmm I was expecting shadowman start singing and dancing. Lol But seriously this guy basically sounds like valiant comics’s own version of ghost rider.

[@redbrick2745]

I loved Shadowman in the 90's. Turok and XO as well. And for some reason, Magnus Robot Fighter was my favorite.

[@saucysnake5260]

Bro I didn’t realize how long I’ve been watching you until now because I got a past video in my recommended which I believe was the top 5 superhero cartoons video but either way it said it was from 8 years ago I’ve grown up with your channel thank you for the content😄

[@ditoadi629]

Yeah! More Valiant stuff!

[@WesleyB-Rook]

Man he really has no idea how to pronounce coven. He said both “k-oh-ven” and “K-ah-ven” when it’s actually pronounced “K-uh-ven” lol

[@cpenner7086]

lol i went to look for this comment XD

[@georgem64]

Coven like oven, yessir

[@markmolino6091]

I thought it he said Covid at first.

[@OF_ANOTHER_TIME]

No it’s pronounced co-vi-d

[@jav3134]

Good lookin out on this showcase. Wasn't aware of Shadowman but after watching this would definitely check out this title. It's something up my alley

[@alexlegare5366]

I am so happy to see more of Valiant on this channel.

[@tansysmusiclisteningchanne4090]

it's funny, i remember finding the first ever Shadowman comic at a flea market for like $5 in 2000 and I was only 10 when i read it. I loved it and I wish i still had it. Thank god for digital archives.

[@dfw_highboi01]

Ok when he was like Shadowman is one of the coolest i was like WHATT???

[@christopheraldrich5795]

Woot! Shoutout to Valiant content! Loved it!

[@nicholasatanasovski5961]

I'd love to see some more Valiant videos!

[@JPCorwyn]

Just an fyi. If it's meant to be the word for "group of witches", then it should be pronounced to rhyme with "of" or "oven" like the thing you cook on/in in your kitchen: K-uh-venn. Great vid, like always. :D

[@fireboy1301]

I so look forward to seeing dc fandom

[@esteban7482]

Do more Valiant please!

[@T_ah43]

Seems like a character 5 year old me would name lol

[@rekc_bcq4816]

I was just about to comment almost the same thing. Like the writer for sure got that name from their edgy teen son

[@rekc_bcq4816]

Though the name was not a phase

[@rekc_bcq4816]

Daniel De Leon I don’t get what that means. Also I’m pretty sure you didn’t spell his last name right. I’m not going to attempt typing it because I know I’ll mess it up too but I’m pretty sure that’s wrong.

I was managing a comic book shop back in 1992 when Valiant Comics hit the shelves. I made a large gamble on Valiant Comics lines, and ordered a lot of their comics. When they sold out at other shops, we had managers from Louisville cross the river to buy up our inventory. Let's just say...MARK UP WAS HUGE! lol.

[@noiruk83]

I got given a load of theses as a kid and loved them. Thanks for reminding me. Can you do some Top Cow titles too. I loved the Darkness and may have had a crush on Fathom and Witchblade!

Valiant seems interesting

[@0ring0]

About time a mainstream comic book YT channel (that I know of) puts Shadowman in the spotlight. Thank you for that. Any chance you put the spotlight on Michael LeRoi in a future episode? Because let's be honest, just like me, there's a ton of people who learned and became fans of Shadowman thanks to the late 90s/early 2000s video games. Not to mention Night Dive studios went on record saying that they will make a remaster of the first SM game just like they did with the Turok games.
