Looking forward to Gutwrencher and Urban Monsters...seem promising.

Urban Monsters looks very cool-- having done a coast to coast drive in 3 days I know how wearing it can be.

Shadowline always seems to have something interesting coming out, and this batch of titles are no exception.

Robbo · 12-13-2007, 09:31 AM

Lookin' good, Shadowline!

pop monkey · 12-13-2007, 10:19 AM

These ALL look great! Thanks for putting these up before the order cut-off deadline! Now I can pre-order all of them!

All the titles look interesting but I can't help to wonder how much of a reception these horror titles would've gotten 2½ months ago (before Halloween). Not that there's anything wrong with releasing brand new horror titles during the month of Valentines Day.

Blackbeard · 12-13-2007, 10:42 AM

I'll have one of each, please.

Shadowline represent!

The St. Valentine's Day Massacre was pretty horrific.

February is also my birthday. So I'm happy to have two issues of the new mini series on the shelves. Happy birthday to me!

Really looking forward to seeing more of Tone's work.

What? No new Shadowhawk?

I thought with all this new Shadowline stuff coming out we'd see a new ShadowHawk series...oh well.

That ship sailed in '06 when we first started Shadowline. The series ended at issue 15. There are no plans to re-visit it. Sorry!
