Shadowman has always been a character I’ve wanted to work me for. I don’t even recall if I stopped reading the last series or whether it stopped on me… either way I now have a fresh chance. Shadowman is back for 2018. Published by Valiant, written by Andy Diggle (Green Arrow: Year One and Daredevil) […]
Free to Download: Valiant Entertainment partner with DriveThruComics
We’d seen Valiant get a little cosy with OneBookShelf over at DriveThruRPG as the Valiant Universe RPG launched. DriveThruRPG had the exclusive and Valiant helped with temptations like the free to download Valiant RPG QS. Today that relationship got closer. The two companies have announced a new partnership. DriveThruComics will make Valiant’s complete library of […]
Free to Download: Valiant Universe RPG Quick Start

This is a chance to do quick catch-ups of the comic books and graphic novels that have found their way in front of my eyes in recent times.
